No Appetite

Losing your appetite is just another part of the whole chemotherapy journey.  It's my Chemo Week ON, which means I'm having chemo, in one form or another, for the entire week.  Tuesday starts Chemo Week OFF. :)


When I find it hard to eat, my sisters work diligently to tempt me.  Today, Jane made Steak Tagliata with Fresh Vegetable Salsa.  The salsa was scrumptious and complemented the steak with fresh, vibrant flavors.  Didn't eat much of it, but what I had was fantastic!  I'm trying to make sure I eat plenty of protein, so there is a bunch of greek yogurt in the fridge.  I like to mix it with granola or my muesli.


Tomorrow my sisters and I are going to do another all-sister dungeon run in World of Warcraft.  Hopefully, we can get past the first boss in this one.  Last time we tried, we just didn't have our hearts in it, and the boss kicked our pixels. But, we've gotten better gear, enchanted up, added gems, and I got my healer to level 83, so that should help a bit. 


And that's it for this post.  I'm tired, I hurt, I feel like crap, but it's only three more days until this week's chemo is done, and I can start to recover.  Love to all, and share some hugs!

  2. We did, Robin! Just a couple of casualties, but we made it through the whole dungeon with no wipes this time. :)

    Love you!
