    Hi Jessica, do you have my absolute respect. My sister had a lot of the same symptoms when she was going through chemo. Sleep when you have to be active when you can and just allow your body to fight this. You are doing great! I am so so so proud of you.

You will get through through this. At the end of this you will think wow if I get through chemo I can do anything. Sending positive vibes and prayers!! Keep that humor going.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this to start with. No one deserves to have to deal with cancer. May you feel comfort, peace, healing, and strength woven throughout your life!

    Things will get better! You can cross off the first week! Give your parents a hug and tell them you love them and that will help them get through this next week. Give Piper a hug! He will give you those beagle breath kisses back! He's getting big! God bless Jess! Mahalo for your vids!

You'll be done too, Jess, and be able to look back on this journey with the relief of being finished. We do what needs doing, eh?
    Hugs to you and your family - I watched your mom's latest vlog so I know it's been a very tough couple of weeks between the first week of treatment and now. I hope knowing of all the healing prayers and good vibes from all of us is a measure of comfort to you. ❤

    You've got this, Jess! Have they mentioned a picc line or port instead of an iv? I have a port so the iv medications go through that instead of an IV that can get infiltrated (that's when the IV is displaced and the meds go into your skin like you described and it becomes swollen instead of staying in the vein and going through your bloodstream), just a thought though, I'm sure your team has got your best interests at heart. I Hope Piper is giving you loads of puppy love through all of this. You're tougher than cancer, and tougher than chemo! Keeping going :)

    • @lesliehyde
      @lesliehyde Год назад +2

      Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing about whether or not the chemo provider talked to them about a PICC (can be left up to a year or so) or a midline (has to be changed out roughly every 30 days). I'm not sure that a port being placed would be the best option considering that they are doing the chemo to prevent any potential cells from turning into actual full blown cancer and the fact that a port requires access every 30 days whether it's used or not for maintenance of it to prevent clots at the end (I have one too but I access at least three times a month so maintenance is just a part of my care).

    • @stripes495
      @stripes495 Год назад +2

      @@lesliehyde Right, I use my port daily so it makes more sense for me but I think Jess said her chemo schedule is for 12 weeks so a midline or picc would be perfect. I heard Sandi mention that she spoke to one of the doctors when they went for an appointment and were going to try set up getting iv fluids at home which makes it even more worthwhile than just an iv. I’m sure they will figure it out though, I don’t want to get too intrusive with medical advice. 😅☺️
