Well it's been a little bit of a roller coaster and the end result is the doctors decided that chemo is too hard on my system I've ended up with six infections and probably two months six hospitals stays spending more time in the hospital than at home confusion my epilepsy has seemed to return just because one of the side effects of chemo can be seizure so I'm back on seizure meds after 10 years I was really down I'm brave enough to post a picture I've lost all my hair I felt like I did chemo for nothing I felt like I was a quitter but the doctor said sometimes it can be more harm than good so I'm going to be going on to a treatment called amino therapy apparently there's some side effects I've got to do some research but my doctor said if you can get on that to get on that it's once a month for a year so this is me right now I'm a little bit shy but I'm going to post it those infections really hit me hard it's kind of funny I got so confused one time I kept trying to put my cat's tunnel on my head I'm putting my arm through it my husband said he had to keep putting it away because I just kept trying to re-put it on my head so of course he had to bring me into the hospital and then the last time actually he does pretty good he can redirect me he helps he gets my shoes on and they take me to the back as soon as he brings me in I spent four in days the neurologist cleared me I came home for 3 days and then I guess I had like severe pneumonia seizures and confusion started again so I took my pants off LOL I tried to put them on trying to put them on like a t-shirt so he had to call the ambulance he couldn't redirect me this time I end up having two spinal taps and a scope because they said my lungs have changed in 2 week and they can't seem to give me a definitive answer countless scans and it's just I guess the infections cause seizures the seizures cause confusion my immune system just got so bad from the chemo so yeah it's been a little bit of a ride but so this is me now and it's only here it'll grow back but definitely been a roller coaster I will not give up I have gotten back on my rowing machine I used to be able to do 45 min to an hour at the gym and I did 8 minutes yesterday it's frustrating I know I lost the majority of my lung and I have been through alot in the last 2 months but I feel like I am going backwards I raced 3 dragon boat races 2 months after I lost my lung I get up do my chores in the morning get on the rowing machine then basically rest the rest of the day just want my life back gonna be a while

I was wondering when this would begin also I have been back in hospital since Saturday it is looking like these episodes that are putting me in hospital are seizures which can be a rare side effect of chemotherapy but still a side effect I was diagnosed with epilepsy years ago but have been off the meds for years and it's probably been close to 10 years since my last seizure I have an appointment on Monday to potentially discontinue the chemotherapy because I am responding so badly to it and start me on amino therapy (which I was to have when I was done chemotherapy) I don't know what to do my next round of chemo is one week from today and maybe now being back on seizure medicine I will respond better I'm still in hospital with the possibility of going home tomorrow and I am only seeing real Jay now not imaginary Jay I also was seeing alot of cats like ALOT of cats even trying to wear my cats tunnel as a T-shirt ( yes hallucinations were that bad) I am bummed about my hair and will have Jay shave it off when I go home nobody can change my mind it's everywhere all over my hospital bed the floor my PJs my face I said if it started to come out this way off it goes it's hair it will grow back mine grows fast and I have a lot of it Jay has never seen me with short hair he's amazing about everything he says it's okay we have alot of hats I am just confused about what to do regarding the chemotherapy and my MD appointment is on Monday I really want to try one more round being on seizure medicine my Dad passed young from lung cancer and 3 of his siblings have either died from cancer or currently fighting it on top of my history I feel that I should have the next round I can feel it when something is coming on I told Jay last Friday I was going to end up back in hospital and here I am I don't want to give up on chemo with 2 rounds left what if my decision effects my outcome down the road this can be a game changer
