A little good news
One of the problems with all this sickness stuff I’ve been dealing with is trying to find an appetite with which to actually eat my meals. Well, I found it yesterday and had a real, honest to goodness dinner (chicken, noodles, broccoli, and a brownie even). I am still amused when so much effort is put into my eating. Never in a million years would I have ever suspected that eating would be a challenge for me. When I’m not up to eating, I’ve been drinking Boost (or Boost milk shakes). Let’s just say they loose their appeal quickly.
In other news, I’m on the first day of my week off chemo (say Yeah!!!). I should be feeling better shortly (presuming the vast majority of my symptoms are from the chemo rather than some random bug. This is a good thing as I have a conference to go to shortly.
Thanks for all your support and well-wishes. Every day is challenge, but they are easier knowing I have such great friends and support behind me. You all mean so much to me. Thanks!

Thinking about you every day. Glad to hear some good news! Keep eating!
Been reading your blog for a short time. Check it everyday now. I have been fighting renal cell carcinoma since ’06 and many of the things your are going through sound so familiar (chemo & eating & just plain feeling blah). I am on Sutent 28 days and off 14. Just 2 months away from the 5th birthday they told me I wouldn’t have. Have a spot on the pancreas that they feel is part of the renal trouble.
Husband just had a colonoscopy 10/26 and found a cancerous tumor so we are ready for another bout with the nasty cancer character. Good thoughts & prayers coming your way.
