Side effects have really started now. Poor Kent is pretty sick. To list a few of the effects he is feeling:
- Nausea (and lots of it)
- Super cold sensitivity
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of taste
- Fatigue
- Body Aches
- An overall "icky" feeling
That is just some of what is going on, but he is tough and is dealing with them well. We are so grateful to live in this day and time where we can be blessed by the medical advancements that can help get rid of the cancer, and overcome the side effects.
Tuesday is supposed to be his low point for this round of chemo, so we will see how it goes. Everyday has been a little harder, and we are told that every round will just get harder, but we are grateful that the Lord is giving us strength, especially to Kent. It is a blessing to know we have a Father in Heaven who loves us, and that we are so important to Him.
I don't know if he can drink ginger tea, but that will help with the nausea. It's very easy to make: grate a teaspoon (ish) and a half to two teaspoons of fresh ginger, or get the pre-grated stuff in the tube (it should be in the produce section of your store, by the tofu and fresh salad dressings). Add that to a cup of hot water with lemon and sugar to taste. If you can, get a tea strainer too. I am sorry Kent that you feel crummy. But I love you my dear nephew. I just do.
