How Sam Is Doing

02.15.2012

So we are now about halfway through the first cycle. Sam has been feeling pretty good at times mixed in with some nausea. She was actually feeling good enough yesterday that her and BFF Alison planned a short trip to Hawaii. They had booked a departure for tomorrow. Sam had a bit of a rough morning today with nausea and some trouble keeping breakfast down. With that in mind Hawaii will have to wait. She hasn’t lost her lunch much since chemo started so that’s good. What’s not that great is that that we expected nausea to be done by now. We will be adding Stemetil (yet another anti-nausea drug) to help ease the rest of this cycle.

Having said that, I will also be heading back to West Van(Alison’s house) shortly to try and get Sam to drink/ eat something. . .anything. Coconut ice cream may work. If she can keep it down it will keep dehydration away and add some calories.
