Day 3- Lung Radiation - Jan 18, 2022

Day 3 -  January 18,  2023

Weight today was 99 lbs. 
Since I wasn’t displaying any nausea and I ate solids all day, I decided not to take my nausea pill.  I think that it is what kept me up last night. I only took a pain killer for the slight headache I had. 
I had such a good sleep. 
Woke up once to take my pain killer at 12:00am and slept the rest of the time. I celebrate those moments. 👍
5:13- Took my Antacid pill 
5::28 - Ate 1/2 banana and drank some Boost before taking my steroid. You have to take this pill on a full stomach. 
 
9:00-  Steve brought me part of a scone, cereal and 1/4 cup of coffee for breakfast. It went down so good. 
He is a food pusher these days and I make sure to eat it.  I realized I have to eat a little every 2 hours to feel good. 
10:00am-  Took my pain killer pill. 

1:00pm- I woke up with a slight headache. Steve served me a nice bowl of soup. I have lots of nutritional soups. According to my Captain, he insist I eat. 😋
2:00pm- Took my pain killer 

3:35pm- had my 15 minute radiation to my lung. Feel stronger since I have been able to eat solids. 

Slept until dinner 
6:00pm - Had my pain killer
6:15pm-  Chef Boy oh Boy outdid himself. For dinner he barbecued pork chops along with broccoli, spinach and mini potatoes served apple pie for desert which he picked ip a small one at the market. It went down so good. I ate small portions and enjoyed every bite. 

9:00 pm- Got ready for bed after sleeping on the couch all evening. 😆

Took my pain killer at 10:00pm but no nausea pill needed. 👍

December 28, 2023 12:00am- I was in lots of pain and couldn’t get comfortable especially when I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom.  The nurse gave me Hydromorphine ( Dilauded ) for pain with a heated blanket. It just calmed me down.  Today crappy feeling day. I brought up and at least I don’t feel pain now. Just as they gave me Zofran and Tylenol, I brought up.  8:00am- Breakfast came but I couldn’t touch it.  I tried to nibble on a few things.  8:30am- They did bloodwork.  10:00am- My sister came to help out with bathing me and stayed until 1:30pm. I was finally pain free and slept for a couple of hours. She stayed until Steve showed up.  Serge, a physio therapist came to do physio and exercises in bed. He showed me tricks of how to get and in and out of bed. Later Paul, another physio therapist showed up to show me how to go up and down the stairs.  Steve brought home some of my wash.

January 22, 2024- Blog message

Some of you may be surprised to hear this message. This is not the easiest blog to write. I haven’t blogged publicly lately because I wanted to be surrounded by my family. I updated my blog today.  On January 18, 2024, I was told my lung cancer is spreading and there is nothing they can now due except to keep me comfortable.  My family needed time to digest the news. They have been helping me get through this whole process. Lung cancer or any cancer is a nasty disease.  I have had so many friends and people reach out to support me through prayers and loving thoughts not even knowing what is happening. I just can’t believe the impact I have had on others.  The good news is  knowing I had no regrets and I have lived life to the fullest. My daughter asked if there was something I wanted to do before I transition and I had nothing to say. I am at peace and ready to receive the Lord.  I am going in McNally house in Grimsby where comfort will be given. It will be one place we will donate mon
