Today is the fourth day I have been off sutent. My blood pressure is still out of control but as the meds leave my body I feel my old self return. I have only been taking the meds for 2 weeks, imagine what I have in store. The oncologist says this is normal and when they find the right combination of meds to bring the pressure down, they can start the sutent a little at a time. Thus is my dilema in even starting the meds again. I was able to get into the shower today and do a load of dishes. That is the most I have done in 5 days.
My mind is clearing and I can hear my soul yelling at me to fight this cancer with everything in my grasp. This is truly a case where the cure appears to be worse than the ill (at least for now). My emotional health is okay, I am not bitter. The only thing I have guilt over is that my sickness is not only my sickness, but my son's, June's, my mother and that is why I hope when the end comes it will be quick.
