Managing Better

So here's the short of it,
I'm managing better this time! -- so far.

And here's the long

My most dreaded side effect (so far) is back! Yes, the diarrhea. I thought I was keeping it at bay with the first medicine, but this morning, it hit. I immediately began the secondary medicine routine that I learned the last time, and so far, so good. Now, that doesn't mean I'm in normal condition, but so far compared to last time, much better!

I did nap a good bit of the afternoon today - I'm hoping I will sleep tonight. I sure don't want to get my days and nights mixed up. I'm optimistically thinking that I'll have a better time of it in the next few days than I did after my first treatment.

The thoughts and prayers of family and friends and friends who are like family are bolstering my spirits and helping me to weather this!
