Journal entry by LENA YEDICA —
I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated everyone but we’ve been trying to get into a rhythm. Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten into a good one. Mom finished radiation on January 9th and we were told she would be tired and nauseous for a couple of weeks up to a month. Around the same time she finished radiation she also started her first cancer treatment. We were very hopeful she would start getting better soon. That just didn’t seem to be the case. As the weeks went on mom got more tired and more nauseated. In the past week she also hasn’t had any interest in eating. She says everything tastes funny or her stomach just can’t handle it. This has caused her to become very weak.
We met with the nurse today and it was decided for her to start oxygen along with an appetite stimulant. Hopefully this will help get her on track with her nutrients.
We’re asking for not many visitors right now because of how sick she is. Also as a side note, mom has become slightly confused and has lost the ability to text properly. If you’d like to communicate with her a phone call is best.
