Another update

I had miscounted my days, I only have until June 30th. Two more treatments to go, finish line in sight.

I got a prescription for Zofran, which really helps, and then, after some discussions with the pharmacy, the Fentayl patch, which made my dizzy and nauseated. I just pulled it off after about 8 hours - did nothing for the pain and I threw up, which I haven't done since I started the Zofran on Wednesday. I don't think I can tolerate the opiates. I've only every been on opiates once before, when I was in the hospital for my partial glossectomy, and I was a vomiting queen until I got off of them.

TBH, I'd rather pain than vomiting and more pain due to the vomiting.

Anyway, almost there. Cannot wait.
