- The side effects hit me hard and fast after my second chemo treatment. They were more intense and lasted longer (8 days as compared to 4 days). It's been a challenging week.

Thanks for sharing, feel sad for you & anyone going through this 😢 - hang in there Jenny Praying 🙏 for you . Sending hugs 🤗
Thank you so much! I appreciate the prayers. 💞
That living day by day is so hard when scary things are coming up. Much respect to you for doing it.
True. But that's kind of why I do it. I know when my next round of chemo is and when I think about it I get anxious. So I just tell myself to think about today and what I would like to do in this day. I kind of give myself permission to think about the appointment the day before and pray that everything will go well and bless the medicine that will be going in me for it to do what it needs to do and that all the people I will interact with will be loving and healing. 💞
Thank you for filling us in! Hope today was a better one than yesyrtday.
Today was a good day! Tomorrow should be even better. 💞
A really good channel is Let’s Talk IBD! Her stoma came courtesy of Crohn’s Disease, but she knows her way around an ostomy bag.
Yes, with Maggie! I've actually watched a lot of her videos and it's helped me a lot. I like that she is a nurse and so knows a lot of information medically but also because she has an ileostomy she knows the personal side of things and how it really goes. Thank you so much for the recommendation, though. I appreciate that! ☺
I hope you’re feeling better!
@@janmurphy9347 Thanks! I'm just finishing my 'good" week. Tomorrow is my next chemo dose and the side effects will start all over again and last for about 7 days. 💞
Hi Jenny, while I was listening to you I was thinking of a good friend of mine who has a stoma bag and how the things you’re talking about are completely normal especially in the beginning. I know when he got home he did have a nurse coming to the house I think a couple of times a week in the beginning. She was able to answer questions and work with him to find ways to make it better. My girlfriend, his wife, was quite involved at first, because he was very nervous about emptying the bag and such. I know they did make some changes with products he was using for ones that work better but I will have to ask her what they are. I can always let you know what he’s using now and what works best for him. Like I said once before, he has had the bag for I think around two years now and he’s doing quite well. He does everything and nothing seems to keep him down. I know there are times when they are going out and going to be gone for a while so he sometimes makes a pitstop back at the house and does when he has to do. Honestly, he has had it for so long that when we are all together I completely forget even has does. I hope it starts to get easier for you to drink without it burning because with summer coming you want to be able to drink some cold water and lemonade. But this is all very new to you and you have to give yourself time to get comfortable with it, and you will get there! So when I talk to my girlfriend, I’m going to ask her just out of curiosity what products he uses and you never know they could help you too. So hang in there and be strong and cry as much as you want. If we weren’t meant to cry God would not have given us tears! See you soon. Hugs, Dolores. 🥰
Thank you so much! Yeah, it seems it takes people about 6 months or so to really get the hang of the ostomy stuff and what products work for them and even then things happen and they have to change products. The ostomy bag is one whole thing to have to get used to and figure out and can be challenging. And cancer is a whole challenging thing. And to have both together at the same time can be overwhelming sometimes. So then the tears flow and is a good stress relief. I like your saying God wouldn't have given us tear ducts otherwise! And sure, I'm always open to learning new information so to hear what works for him would be great. Thanks again for reaching out. I appreciate you! 💞
Hugs
Thank you! 💞
CURIOUS IF YOU HAD ANY COLONOSCOPIES DONE PRIOR TO YOUR DIAGNOSIS?
I had not. I know I was supposed to get one around when I turned 50 but put it off. Silly me. Although that might not have seen anything anyways as my symptoms started when I was 54.
