Nausea is Better - If I Can Just Stay Awake!
I talked to Marilyn (Dr. Bova's nurse) yesterday evening about the nausea I've been experiencing (like it makes me gag just to open the refrigerator door or walk into the kitchen when food is out). Seems as though the drug they gave me to take with the steroids for "nervousness" - Ativan - is also good for nausea. Well, I still have some, so I took 1/2 a pill last night and didn't even make it through our t.v. shows (oh yea, it's main side effect is drowsiness). . . . but I wasn't nauseated. I took another 1/2 this morning and haven't felt the nausea and haven't fallen asleep on my desk. I do feel just a little dizzy/fuzzy, but I'll take that over the nausea. We'll see how it goes!!! I'm sure Bob is getting tired of eating frozen dinners or going out because I can't stand the smell of cooking food!!!

You're such a trooper Allison! Hanging in there and staying strong - - hopefully the nausea will subside and you'll feel right side up very soon. Love & prayers to you. :)
I love you so much mom. I think about you every day, and I wish we were closer. I hope the nausea passes soon because I bet not having an appetite is hard for you too, not just Bob.
I'll be thinking about you all day Wednesday and praying for some peace of mind this week - I am excited to hear something, but nervous too!
Sounds like you and Bob are making the most out of a very difficult situation. And you, my friend, are a role model for all of us! I'm praying for favorable MRI and petscan results. Keep the faith... Hugs to you. ~CLG
