I began Hospice care. Since I have so many problems with allergies and chemical sensitivities, it will be mainly just help with medicines and keeping me comfortable.
My cancer CA125 count went from nearly 500 the end of November to nearly 3,000 on January 9th.
Each day I am more tired. I can still walk around my home pretty well, dress myself, and send a few emails. I have ascites, but after putting on ten pounds in water last week, it is staying about the same. Sometimes I have a little diarrhea. By 5pm, I am so tired that I have a headache, chills, and am slightly nauseous. My sleep is light and I wake many times during the night. I can get food down, but it is hard to eat after 2pm. I am eating small amounts at a time. I don't have any appetite, and feel a little nauseous at the smell of food, but I can still eat a reasonable amount in a day. I walk very slowly and tired quickly. I feel better with a nap in the afternoon.
