Thank you for thinking about me.  I am home and on my computer....

The chemo attacks all fast growing cells.  Cancer is fast growing but so is the inside of your mouth, your hair and fingernails.  My mouth is so stickin sore......I ate mild salsa and thought I would die.....it was so hot.  I drank a pop and it burned.

So what did I have for breakfast?  Oatmeal.  Yogurt.

I have been eating quite a few popsicles and sucking on ice.....that feels good.

I came home from two days with my daughter and granddaughter in another city.  I watched the baby while she did some training.

When I got home my h was very drunk.  I told him I wanted a divorce.  He said he was trying to be supportive and I asked him, "If I needed to be rushed to the hospital, could you have driven me last night???????"

He apologized.  I need someone who is going to be there for me!

((((Kelly)))))From what I have read  about people going through cancer, they feel totally alone. Even if they have good loved ones, they feel they are in a different world that no one can understand.
 I bet it is a million times worse when your relationship is already hard which yours with your H was.         Ami

Yes, the way he copes is to drink.  That just adds stress to me.  I need to have as little stress as possible!!!!

I just hate that he doesn't have control over his drinking.  He is such an alchy....

Hi Kelly,

I ate mild salsa and thought I would die.....it was so hot.  I drank a pop and it burned.

The culprit is probably citric acid.  It is very commonly used as a preservative, as  is phosphoric acid.  It is listed as the second ingredient in Fresca for instance and is contained in just about every 'pop' on the shelf and many other foods.  I've googled a few good articles about citric acid allergy, (which I have).  That's why it came to mind when I read your post.   It's not a common allergy and information is scarce.   If you had no problem with it before Chemo, you probably won't have to be concerned with it when you get off the treatments and are WELL!! 

I'm still praying for you and a friend joins me in praying for you as well.

Dear Kelly
 I know you are gonna beat this b/c I had that discernement right from the first! I had a supernatural thing happen yesterday which I will tell you later!      XXOO  Ami

[Overcomer]

Oh, I cannot wait.  Yes, Ami I agree I am going to beat this.  I have often looked back over the series of events that happened in order for them to find this cancer.  If I had not gone back to the bookstore I would never have had the hysterectomy and would still have all that inside me.  God ordered my steps so they could get it out in time.  Now I will use all this to glorify His name.

TT......everything I have read said that your mouth could get sore but I didn't realize it would be my chief complaint at this time.  Oh well, I just need to adjust my eating habits....the chemo will be over in October and then maybe I can eat some wonderful BBQ and stuff like that....
