Re: Just for fun! Chemo and cravings
 

I find after an infusion, every 21 days for me, I want a beer! I guess its a reward for getting myself to my dreaded 21 day ball of chain of life giving meds. aA for sugar, I do indulge from time to time but only occasionally. I agree moderation is the key. I am stage IV so I have a tendency to justify things quite easily, who knows how long this life will be, so why not?

Colleen, Same boat. I enjoy a glass of wine. It keeps from going nuts when I have a pet scan every 90 days AND I CANT GET THE CALL IM SUPPOSE TO GET. Im do for one Tues. Feb. 9 and have not heard from the nurse about scheduling it. Yes I called 2 times.

I have a heart eco on the 8th and hercpetion the 15 th and see the onc. the same day.

SO YES I NEED MY GLASS OF WINE TO KEEP ME SANE.

Ariana, yes staying sane is a key issue when you know this is your life.....until? Who knows, so might as well enjoy whatever it is that brings a smile to your face. I like to ride my road bike to my infusions and onc appointments, about 12 miles each way, makes getting there feel like an adventure rather than a chore in traffic. I am supposed to have a scan this month but know I have reached my "stop-loss" for the year, however my oncologist's office is slow to bill so I am delaying to ensure I am minimally out of pocket. Fortunately my scans are now every six months and same with my echos, which makes fewer medical appointments! Yay! My social calendar revolved around medical appointments for awhile. Hang in there and believe you will be okay, the mind is a powerful thing.
