Chemo Tunnel
4:22 PM
It feelsgood to have exited what I call my “chemo tunnel”. Beginning about 12 hours after the infusion I feel as if I enter a tunnel. My thinking is muddled and it is challenging for me to comprehend questions and to give coherent answers. Usually within about 36 hours I end up having a headache which lasts for about a day and half. It feels wonderful when the headache leaves and I feel back to myself. What a gift to feel like Donna again! Maybe just two more weeks of visiting the tunnel and then it will be on to a different adventure.
I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful support system while I’m in this “tunnel." How lucky our family is to have a group of dear people who are feeding us, praying for us and willing to help us in whatever way we need. Thank you for being one of our support system.

Praying that tunnel is becoming less & less. Praying for your courage, stamina & God's extra special blessings upon you ~ He knows what you need in all your fraility & is with you. Peter says in II Pet 1:3-4 "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life & godliness, thru the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory & excellence, by which He has granted to us His Precious & very great promises, so that thru them you may become partakers of the Divine Nature......." ESV I know how hard it is to see His good & dwell on His promises in the middle of great pain & weariness. Hang in there, you are a great example of allowing His Spirit to partner with you on this journey! Evelyn Acord
Donna we have called that "Chemo Brain". Doctors and studies say it doesn't exist, but we know better.
