Thoughts for the Day
Today is Tuesday June 9th 2009
I awoke this morning around 7:00 and was in pain all over my body. I have been experiencing Chemo Fog and some Son Downers symtoms today. I have all my teeth pulled an am having trouble eating. I started an eight week round of Avastin and I am in the second week of taking Capabateside orally one a day. I have had this eight week regiment and did not make to due to bad skin problems. I intend to make it this time.
I will get better at blogging as I go. I want this information to get to the right audiance.

Pain is not something that you should have to live with. Many physicians do not know that pain can be treated effectively without causing the drowsiness that is so problematic, particularly when dealing with chemo brain. Please tell us more about your diagnosis and treatments. The chemo brain protocol may help.
Hi Tommy, very sorry to hear about the pain you are going through. Chemo brain (fog) is very common so don't worry that something new or bad is happening to you. Chemo brain will get better in time and there are ways to help yourself when you are ready and treatments are over. Keep me posted on your progress. Things will be better.
Tommy: We are all pulling for you.
The chemo fog can be helped, although while you are in treatment it is somewhat more difficult.
Have you been rebuilding your immune system? Have you tried visualization therapy? Let me know! I can provide some sources on the HAC site.
