ViviAnne began the dreaded Delayed Intensification last Thursday. She handled it all wonderfully but has been very tired ever since. Sleeping more and just telling me she is tired, plus her color is pale and her eyes look weak. But she is not throwing up so that is good. The steroids are making her moods swing considerably but she is not hungry this time. We went today for another form of chemo, PEG, but it is delayed and so is her treatment for this Thursday due to constipation. When we went to clinic today we were concerned that she has been constipated for a week and the chemo will only make it worse so we are holding it off until she poops. She has 24 hours to poop with the assistance of the 3 different kind of laxatives and stool softeners we've BEEN using at home and if that doesn't work then the will have to admit her to the hospital to physically remove the stool. So we are waiting on poop, AGAIN! It obviously would be better if she could go at home. So that is what is new with us. Just another day in chemo world.

I read your blog once a week to see how ViviAnne is getting on and am filled with awe at your bravery.
Your belief in God is clearly helping you through this tramatic experience. I feel very humble when I read your words.
with much love from Vivianne in England xxxx
