Day +8, Jan 5

. Skipped yesterday, Day 7 Whiny Day. White blood cells have not kicked in. Mouthsores have closed enough up up my throat so i can’t get fluids or solids down. Going without drinking or eating for 3 days is beginning to wear on me. Before all this I had all the energy ...


Day 6: Jan 3

Day 1: Dec 29

. Woke up nauseated but got meds for it. Mucositis is making it haerd to eat also, so mouthwashes are necessary. I can’t taste anything, so I kind of depend on Boost milkshakes. On a downward trend but I do feel ok at times. I did walk down the hall today, and mom is o ...
