It is time to start dabbling in complimentary therapies. Water doesn't taste right at this point and there isn't a food that sounds good. I think I would have been more comfortable today if I had been able to rip out my uterus, but that didn't seem to be a good long term solution. Some drugs must take longer to annihilate things in your body than others, last week things had started clearing up at this point. I'm never sure what the aches and pains are from - but they started piling up today. There are some sores popping up out of my skin and it's very difficult to leave them alone. It's time to start on the list of acupuncturists, and whomever else can help relieve some of the nastiness that chemo brings!
The girls are at a birthday party tonight and having a ball! Thank goodness for cousins, aunts and uncles who spend so much time entertaining the kids, they hardly notice their mom is sick.

You are my kind of girl....acupuncture (which I've never done but sounds good), massage....anything to get rid of pain!
Praying for you,
Sue :)
Hey Lizard,
I can't find anything that says how to get rid of a bad taste - the most interesting I saw was 'gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water'. So I think that maybe if you suck on tin foil - you could at least pretend that that is the source of the bad taste and maybe that would make it all better. When I was taking a couple of different drugs that gave me a real tinny taste in my mouth I tried Sams Choice Madarin Orange flavored water. That one was the best for me.
Love you tons!
Hey Liz..
I think about you everyday. Thank you for starting this blog. Hang in there you are a strong, beautiful and powerful woman. Call me or soot me an e-mail if there is anything that I can do. All my love,
Kelly Jenne'
In case you have not heard of these...try sucking on lemon drops before you eat, it's supposed to help with the metal taste. Also, try eating with plastic silverware. I know, I hate eating with plastic too, but it's may help with the metal taste too. Of course you have to have an appetite first. :-)
Strength to you,
Monica

My little Erd!
I love your blog. I finally got it right to add in something. I hope the hell I did this right. This is my 3rd time trying. Ok, so I am not the brightes bulb.
Sorry to say that the taste thing- well - it's just part of the effects of treatment. I can't beleive this is happening to you- of all people. You told me "you couldn't imagine" when I told you about Glenn. I am praying for you all the way. Like I told you on the phone- anytime, anywhere and I will be there to help you and your family or to just listen. I am also known as "Assistant Nurse Nancy". Not much that I can't or won't do which I learnt as a caregiver.
So- keep up blogging when you can- I am following you and with you always in spirit.
Love you much Lady! Enormously.
Hang in there Liz! Hoping that today is a better day for you! Know that we are all thinking about you believe that you can do this!
