Day 5 Chemo 3. Mon 9/04/2017 11:05AM

I’ve been really sick for 3 days in a row after my 3rd chemo that I was not able to write my journal for 3 days. It’s been 3 days of a hell incessant vomiting, severe gastritis, profuse sweating and having no appetite. I could barely eat so I just tried to hydrate myself with Gatorade. Even when the air conditioning is in a low temperature, still, I felt so restless because my head kept on sweating profusely but my lower body part felt so cold. My body temperature was really chaotic that I was not able to rest properly for 2 days because I don’t know how to settle myself. I kept on praying for God’s mercy so that I could be well again and this too shall pass. For those patients who had undergone like mine, I found an article of Cancer Council Victoria outlining how to deal with the side effects of chemotherapy. I hope this link will work for you guys. A pdf copy of this article can be downloaded from this link http://www.cancervic.org.au/downloads/resources/booklets/understanding-chemotherapy.pdf. In terms of prayer, I found this book in Amazon called "Praying for the Cure" by Mary J. Nelson. This is the little description of Amazon about her book:

Good thing Sunday came and I got a little better but I still felt that I have no sufficient energy to go to church. Anyhow, it’s good to have my appetite back, thank you, Lord! On top of that, many thanks as well to my friend, Ms. Eunice Salinas, who’s like a daughter to me for taking good care of me the whole time. She has to wake me up several times to get all the things that I need because I was too weak to get up. My tummy really hurt and I’ve got no energy to keep myself from standing up.

Despite of that, thanks be to God because I felt that I am a lot better now. My abdominal cramps became mild and I could taste the food already. As what I’ve told my guardian angel, my feelings coincide with the mysteries of the rosary. Friday is a sorrowful day, while Sunday is a glorious day and then Monday is a joyful day. Though I’m  not 100% back to my feet yet, I felt that I have more energy and ready to gain my strength back again. I am excited to get back into doing the usual things that I do, like doing the household chores but definitely not so soon. In God’s perfect time, instead.

As promised, I will continue to fight, fight, fight! Cheers to my 100th birthday celebration!!!
