  • Mrs CP and her meds

    OK, I was getting pretty concerned. Me and the Mrs (The Mrs and I) weren't getting along very well the last week or so. I kept thinking I must have done something to offend her or hurt her or something, cause she just seemed annoyed and argumentative.

    We're getting ready to build a house, and that, of course, is one of the most stressing things on a marriage, so....

    Long story short, she had her meds for her cancer adjusted, because she felt like she was not doing so well on her meds. Whatever they switched her to seems to have her in a constant state of -- not "pain" -- but not feeling good at all. She said she just feels "dark" or "depressed", but not like "depression" -- and she admitted she gets annoyed easily.

    She also said she feels like she's in a constant state of 'power surge' (my expression for 'hot flashes')

    She's at that point where she's wondering if taking the meds are worth the minute reduction in the probability of cancer recurring. It's like, according to her DNA, cancer type, and other factors, for some reason they estimate she has about a 9-15% chance of cancer coming back. These drugs are supposed to reduce that percentage by 5 points.

    The question, of course, is ... is that "reduction in probability" worth the reduction in quality of life.... It's a tough call only she can make.

    So, prayers, please ---- for healing and for wisdom.

    Thanks

    (on a somewhat humorous note, I asked her if she was having thoughts of suicide, since that's one of the side effects listed on so many drugs these days, and she glared at me and said, "no, but I HAVE had thoughts of murder!" at least she has her sense of humor. (I hope))

      Give her a hug from me, and I'm praying.

      You, on the other hand, will only get a hug from me if she murders you.

        Hmmmm.... you might wanna think about that.. um... hugging dead guys.

        She's still not quite "the same", but she knows it, and it's much easier to get past when she has her "moments". She's doing great, all things considered.

            Thanks.

            I feels so much betterer.
