No go again

Well, the radiation machine was still down today so they told me if I didn't get a call before 9am on Monday morning to go down as usual on Monday. On the one hand, today was like a vacation, I slept a half hour later, went out to lunch with A. and my IL's and didn't have to drive myself anywhere. On the other hand I figure there is a reason they have you do radiation 5x a week rather than 3x, and with the weekend that's a 4 day break rather than a 2 day break, so I hope that this doesn't affect the treatment's efficacy. Nothing I can do about it if it does, so I am going to chose not to worry about it. I've been learning to prioritize my worries lately, and many of them are deemed not worth my time and energy.

I made appts. today for the end of March with my Integrative MD and my med onc (the one I've been seeing since my original endo cancer diagnosis, not the one I saw last week at Fox Chase). Been putting both things off and finally decided I wanted to cross those things off my to do list. I can be really weird about making phone calls sometimes.

Still getting the on again off again queasies, but nothing serious. Oyster crackers (saltines) and candied ginger or even peppermint gum seem to take the edge off. I finally got my prescription okayed for 21 generic Zofran and got it filled but haven't taken them yet. I'd rather not take them unless I really need them since the side effects are drowsiness and constipation. I'm just being careful about what I eat (no more chocolate, spicy food except for ginger, things with too much fat in them etc.) and stopped taking my daily 3 capsules of enteric coated fish oil (which I normally tolerate fine, but forget it now) and hope that will help things for a while longer.

We've got family (my late sister's family) coming to visit tonight for the long weekend, my BIL, his fiance and my 2 nephews and 1 niece. We're all looking forward to the visit, especially Z. who loves when her cousins come to visit. Unfortunately she's coming down with a cold (which she's determined to ignore right now). She really doesn't get sick much, but it seems like in the last couple years the times that she does get sick seems to coincide with our visits with them. This upsets her, especially when she's feeling lousy on the "long" day (the day of the weekend that doesn't involve traveling). So I hope that this cold is mild and doesn't keep her from enjoying playing with her cousin J. all weekend.
