Ive been up since 2am. Take your worst nausea and then multiply it by 1934. And then multiply that by itself…. and it still wouldn’t come close to what I feel. To make things worse, it isn’t the “Throwing Up” type of nausea. This morning I just sat on the couch and cried with Mark.
I took 4 Zofran. FOUR.
Today is our first day of homeschooling (my 2 oldest kids go to school 2 days a week and are home for 3), and I feel utterly useless.
So if you wouldn’t mind, say a prayer for me today. Pray that my body would react positively to the chemo, and that I would feel better.
They say Temador builds up in your system and the last few days are going to be the worst. My last day is Saturday, but I expect I will feel it through Monday. I feel like I have been hit by a truck, and then hit again.
And again.

Praying for you and your family! (((hugs)))
Prayers going up for you today asking God to shower His comfort down on you today. I agree with Toni above in maybe an injectible or iv med. If possible, it might give your poor stomach a much needed break from all the other meds you have to swallow. Just a thought. On a personal note, when I did chemo 11 years ago, I used pot (please don’t be shocked as it honestly worked when nothing else did). That’s just me and that was back then. It took the nausea away and for that, I was so grateful.
~*~Comfort Hugs and Prayers for you today Heather~*~Laurel in Ca.
(((HUGS))) I am sending lots of prayers your way for God’s healing.
Heather…you don’t know me and I don’t comment often but I pray for you each and every morning at 6:00 when I am walking…I will certainly pray for you…the girls here in my office in Memphis are praying too…I keep them updated about you and we all are pulling for you…I found this verse this morning and thought it might be a comfort to you. I love you as a sister in Christ…Sharon
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.†(Psalm 94:18-19)
heather,
I am so sorry that you are feeling so bad. I am sitting here tearing up trying to imagine what it must feel like to be you right now. My heart breaks for you and I am praying.
Oh wow… I can’t even begin to imagine… I’m praying Psalm 3 for you – “But You, O LORD, are a shield about Heather, Her glory, and the One who lifts her head.”
Heather,
I am praying so hard for you dear. You are such a strong person and I know that your precious children are learning SO MUCH from their beautiful mommy.

I’m praying for you as always. Stay strong.
(((HUGS))) and prayers for you.
I am praying for you, Heather. Please don’t be afraid to call your doctor and ask for something else to help with the nausa. Take care of yourself – if you need to lie on the sofa all day, then lie on the sofa. This is the time for healing. And prayers are coming your way.
Praying for you, Heather. As a lady said on a forum I’m on, ‘your pain puts ours in perspective.’ I’ve had pain in my hip and knee for a few days, but nothing I have compares with what you are going through. May you start feeling better, and the nausea subsides.
You’re in my prayers. I pray that the days and nights are easier for you really soon.
Heather,
Hugs, prayers and tears for you today…just wanted you to know.

I am so sorry that you are feeling so yucchy. I will be praying that your body and spirit get some relief from that nasty nausea. As for schooling, your precious kiddos are getting life lessons that no text book could offer. I would much rather my children learn compassion than chemistry any ol’ day. You ARE stronger than cancer!
Heather,
I am praying for you! Wow, you look a lot better than I did without hair.
Hang in there… soon I pray this will be a distant memory and you will be asking yourself if that really happened or was just a bad dream.
There are so many blessings that came out as a result of my cancer. I pray the same for you and total healing.
Keep pumping the water and walk when you can, it helped me a lot.
You have renewed my mission to fund raise and beat this disease so no more of our sisters and brothers have to go through this.
God bless!

Praying for you right now as I type.
I am not here much…as my DH has cancer also… but I do keep up with you and your treatment. I am praying for you today, and everyday. I hate you have to to go through this. Are you sure you should be homeschooling right now? I HS’ed also and it was a lot of work! Isn’t there someone who could fill in at least a day or so to help out? Don’t try to do it all, Heather, it is okay to have help. It is even a good thing to let someone else do some things and you take a nap or spend time with the kids AFTER school. You need rest and healing right now. I pray God will deliver it to you. {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}
I’m so sorry, Heather! I’m praying for you to feel better.
This morning after reading your post I “laid hands on you” via your image on the screen! It may sound silly but I so much want you to be comforted, healed, held in the loving arms of God.
I can’t even say that I know what you are going through but if I could carry a portion of your burden to relieve you of your sickness, I would. If there were some kind of bank where we could all go to withdraw some of your suffering, I know that we all would!
But since I can’t I continue to pray. I know there is power in prayer. I have seen it so many times in my own life.
Be still and know that He is God.
As always, hugs and prayers…
Heather,
Take care… You are in my prayers. Wishing you great comfort.
Many Blessings~
Paula
Praying for you, Heather.
Praying here as well. xxoo
Always praying!
I am so sorry. I’ve had chemo but I can’t imagine nausea that four Zofran won’t help.
Of course you’re in my prayers.
Oh Heather, I am so sorry. I am praying.
hope you will feel better very soon….
when my son is not feeling well which is often we try to go with him to a great deli and he picks out whatever he wants…somtimes its just a fresh roll and somtimes its olives or salami or stinky cheese…just the trip alone out in the freash air, sunshine and people helps….( small meals is the way to go )nothing heavy…
be strong….you are a hero….
Heather,
I am sorry you are having such a rough time. I just want you to know I’m continuing to pray for you and every Sunday at Mass we light a candle for you as we pray. All those flickering candles represent somebody’s prayer and it is a visible reminder that our prayers are constantly being heard. Heather, hang in there. They say it is always darkest before the dawn
When I feel sick to my stomach, it’s cold cherry coolaid & chicken noodle soup with a few crackers crumbled up in it. Not at the same time though. I pray you feel better.
