Journal entry by Erin McMillion —
Round three went a little better than the first two. The nurses and doctors at Emory Winship Cancer Institute do a great job of listening to how I’m feeling and trying to adjust treatment to me as much as allowable. This time they incorporated some Lasix to help combat some of the fluid retention from treatment. I also tried walking around the floor and hitting the bike in their fitness room. It still was no picnic, but it helped.
It also helped having Kori stay with me a few nights keeping me company…watching Netflix…and her fussing at all the food and clothes I brought. Listen if I’m going to be in there, I’m going to be as comfortable as I can make it! 😏 (I ended up throwing out half the food I took because cause I was too bloated to eat🫣).
You can see in my face how thrilled I was to head into this round (insert sarcasm and annoyance), but hey…we’re halfway through 🤞🏽 God willing.
