OK I might be a little biased in this area, but I was very happy to hear from Sara that she was able to go to her son Rylan’s riding lesson this weekend, and got to see an old friend who was visiting from Oregon. They also were able to visit Sara’s horse Roxy and Roxy’s baby, Star, in Spanaway despite the 24 degree temps! While this sounds cold to anyone, it is extra cold to someone who has chemo-induced cold sensitivity and neuropathy.
Sara was able to plan ahead a bit for the visit on Sunday, by taking some anti-nausea medicine (Zofran) a bit more proactively than usual. She is really trying to get through the chemo treatments with a minimum of additional medications, but at the end of the day she will feel better and be stronger if she is able to eat. Usually she starts to feel better during her “off” week from chemo, so being able to go out this weekend is definitely a great start.
