I suffered extreme nausea, fatigue and lack of appetite. It’s hard to eat when you’re sleeping all of the time. I also experienced an allergic reaction to one of the medicines which caused thickening of my tongue and twitching in my face during the infusion. I was not comfortable. Since the first treatment we learned that taking a tapered dose of steroids following the chemotherapy and taking anti-nausea medicine on a regular schedule (regardless of signs of nausea), prevents the side effects. They added some Benadryl to the chemo mixture to address the allergic reaction and it worked!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

I start radiation therapy to my hip tomorrow. I will receive 10 consecutive treatments. Both my oncologist and radiologist are confident that the radiation therapy will be successful. When I finish the radiation we will consider different chemotherapy medicine to treat my pancreatic cancer. I am not going to have the chemotherapy treatment during radiation therapy because of the toxicity - too much for my body. I appreciate everybody's continued prayers and loving support for me and my girls. We are truly grateful to have so many caring friends in our lives.</span><br />

I am feeling great, other than some fatigue on the 3rd or 4th day following my treatment. My appetite continues to be healthy. Myself, my girls, their "kids" spent a wonderful Thanksgiving at my dear friend, Marianne's. Her sister and her son and girlfriend joined us. It was a very nice time with everybody. They all played some Wii while I "relaxed" as illustrated in the picture :) </span><br />

Being from San Diego she only sees sunshine. It rained only one day, just for Edi and the rest of our visit we were blessed with sunshine. We spent our days eating dungeoness crab, steamed clams and walking on the beach.<br />

My weight is maintaining and my appetite is with me all the time! In fact, I couldn't wait for the infusion to finish so I could eat - even though I ate home-made blueberry pancakes and bacon before my infusion (YUMM!). My treatment proceeded smoothly and this was the second infusion in a row where we were all treated to the peaceful melodies of an acoustic guitar. He played wonderfully.</span><br />
