Month: June 2023

  • NPH

    Yesterday was a no good very bad day Yesterday was Day #1 after chemo which is the worst day. It also happened to fall on the day I was scheduled to take my monthly Boniva. Based on my previous two months I knew the Boniva would make me feel nauseated. I thought well, might as…

    Oh and here should be a second title Sometimes I enjoy writing when I am not quite awake. When my brain is not putting up guards and my internal voice is not correcting every I say. Today is Boniva day so I am just now sipping my first cup of coffee. This week includes nausea…
