Chemo Side Effects

OK, I've been waiting for the nausea to start like they promised, but so far all I have done is slept today. Not just sleep where you lay there and hear what's going on like it's far away, but deep, hard sleep. I have been draining a lot and I ate some, then slept some more. Maybe tomorrow will be worse, but so far (knock on wood) this is not as bad as I was expecting.

Sheri,
Maybe you've already had the worse it gets! Keep eating, resting, and draining. We love you and are always thinking of you, David and the kids.
Love,
Clint, Lori, and Kids

I am praying that you are one of those people who sail right through chemo with little or no side-effects! LIVESTRONG!

Hi sheri,
I'm so glad to hear you have started your chemo. It sounds like you are doing so good, you are such an inspiration to everyone going through this. What a nice surprise for you to be so comforted with your new friendships during your chemo treatments. I'm so glad to hear your eating well. Keep up the great strength and keep smiling. I am praying for you daily.
Love, sherrie and family

I think about you often. I was glad to hear you didn't have the nausea from chemo. Richard starts his radiation and chemo this Thursday. They did surgery but couldn't get it all. So I hope he handles the chemo as well as you. I think the radiation is going to be harder on him. 5 days a week for 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 weeks. Chemo every 3 weeks. I think I'll have to buy a juicer and some ensure. But when it all over he will be just fine. You sound so up beat. You eat and take care of yourself.

Dear Sheri, We were just told of your illness on Friday and called Mom and Dad. They told us that you had just started your chemo therapy. Sweetheart, you and your family are in our prayers, we love you.
