Then there were 2

I had my 2nd Chemo session this past Friday. It was also my birthday. What a way to spend a birthday. I am just now starting to feel a little better from it and I get a little more energy every day. I cannot stand to eat right now because everything taste weird or just bad. Cheese is a big thing this time around. It taste very bitter and cannot stand the taste of it. I love cheese, why cheese? The last time around at my 1st Chemo I could not taste salt. It is a little better this time around. I have had a lot of stomach pain and upset too and I cannot almost handle that but all I can do is take my antinausia meds and lay down.
I am having trouble sleeping and nothing I try to do helps. My body is tired and I want to sleep but every single noise from my husband snoring to even my cat snoring keeps me awake. I cannot blame them, they have always done this and did not have a very big problem with it till now. I finally showed my girls my bald head. They just laughed and said it felt funny. I completely understand, it does feel funny and probably looks funny too. I will say I do look forward to when my hair grows back. Not having my hair has been very hard for me.
Everytime I think about Cancer, Chemo, or pimento cheese sandwhiches I get a nausiated sick feeling that I cannot seem to get rid of. Everytime I start to feel sorry for myself I repeat back the words God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. I say that everyday and sometimes more than once. So many people have reached out to me and a lot I do not know who are praying for me and my family. They have sent gifts and prayers, and prayer shawles. It has meant so much and cannot thank everyone enough. I see I have been venting a little here, but where else is a better place than to the whole wide world.
