#2 is in the books...
ok well in my body but yall know what i mean... I got round 2 of chemo yesterday, big discussion with doc about those steroids that gave me hiccups.. he said it was to help with the nausea and i could choose my side effects and i straight up told him i'd rather deal with the nausea and he gave me more dissolvable zofran... and so far, yea i'm sicker this morning than last time BUT i'm not hurting from hiccups... almost didn't get the chemo because of ...yep you guessed it...low white blood cells, low red blood cells, low hemocrit, yadda yadda yadda...BUT it was close enough to where they decided by giving me nuelesta afterwards (my old friend lol) he would go ahead and let me have the chemo and also put it on the treatments for ALL future chemos...AND we're moving out my next chemo to 5 weeks out to give me an extra week of recovery to see how i do... so yea thats roughly it. oh and my CA125 went up from 21 to 24 but doc isn't concerned about that...he said the same tube of blood can have a variance of 3-4 numbers so he's not worried.... got a headache this morning too but i think thats due to being awake since 5 am lol

and now off to do a birthday cake for my baby son ...(he's 34 today), get bread going in the bread machine and sauce cooking down for spaghetti for his birthday dinner tonight...no he's still not married but its not for lack of trying...he swears he can't find a decent woman that 1) isn't an alcoholic or drug user, 2) looking for a sugar daddy or 3) looking for a man to raise her 5 kids by 4 different men lol his words not mine... but he's actively interested in meeting someone.. he'd like to settle down and have kids...if he meets the right one.. i'm proud he's not "settling" because he's lonely...

anyways i digress, sorry bout that...i just wanted to kinda update everyone and let yall know how it was going..

@mommacandy Thank you for bringing us all up to date. Hiccups seems awful to me but then so does nausea. You're the best judge of you and so fortunately you get to decide on what you want to do. I don't know how can you get up the next morning and prepare all this food for your baby son's birthday!! I think many of us would do the same as it's a whole lot better than focusing on the side effects of the chemotherapy.

So, good. Although you had low white blood cell count, low red cell count, and on, you were still in the right neighborhood, so to speak, of treatment. The increase in CA125 is very small and sure the numbers will be variable and not exact.

I hope your son has a beautiful day surrounded by love and family. I hope, too, that he finds the right "one" for him. Does Momma know any one to introduce him to (hint, hint, and wink)? 😉
