Undy 5000 - June 5 - Tacoma WA

[Trek420]

Just saw this, sorry to say I'm not around much. Knott & Trek, I hate that you are going through this. Chemo sucks, I know. My main issue post chemo was getting my energy levels back. It's rough, and they may not come back 100%, but they come back, and that's what counts. I wish you both peace and a return to good health.

Thanks. Session 7 now done. 1 more to go! Tomorrow she should start back on the upswing. Cancer and chemo both suck but we are learning coping strategies. For instance it took a while to figure out she gets dehydrated. We never said we’re smart, just cute. Something in the concoction makes her sweat a lot combined with difficulty swallowing at first. Even though she drinks lots of water still gets dried out.

I’m figuring out the foods to keep her hydrated. Favorite jello salads anyone? But hope to be on an upswing tomorrow.
