ETA - I treated the whole house to shakes, now I have all this ice cream to drink before bed.

You should eat more icecream. Should help with the mouth. Sprinkle on some protein powder too. When I first started eating again it was something I could eat enough of to fill up.

Glazer · #**404** 15th November 2018, 08:16 PM

Damn got ninja'd by top of page.

Dragonlady · #**405** 15th November 2018, 08:17 PM

Great minds Glazer, great minds.

Glazer · #**406** 15th November 2018, 08:26 PM

You know you seem to get a disproportionate number of top of page.

Bitches

Who cares about top of page - ICE CREAM! (Ice cream rules)

Do you have any Thanksgiving plans?

A friend of mine extended the first invitation, so I think I'll go there this year. My family isn't doing any big holidays together, but I'm welcome at any of my brother's places, too.

I also miss the fact that the page as turned without me disproportionately.

Mouth sores are nearly non-existent currently, but nausea made me lose my breakfast. It's always something, it seems. I took one of the anti-nausea drugs and might try to eat again at noon. i've actually been fasting since noon because today is the day to change the appliance. It worked, there were no accidents. I'm gradually feeling better. I was groggy from too much sleep. MMJ therapy is gradually helping me come more fully awake. I took the wastebasket I vomited into out and rinsed it out. The activity finally activated and I'm ready for a day. So long as it's a very light day, cuz I'm feeling fucked up several ways.

For sure. I took a nap from 11 to 1, and I haven't much since but hydrate and listen to music.

Khampelf · #**413** 19th November 2018, 06:12 PM

I had a pretty abnormal day, I still can't eat. I'll try again tomorrow. I wish I would get a normal round of hunger pangs, or the munchies, or anything. What I have is chemo nausea and a severe 'no food mood'. Not eating sucks, but it's better than hurling anything you try to eat.

Sunny Daze · #**414** 19th November 2018, 06:33 PM

All the

and

. The bad days really suck.

stormie · #**415** 19th November 2018, 10:50 PM

I'm sorry. Try to stay hydrated; if you can't, don't be shy about getting an IV of water.

JackieLikesVariety · #**416** 20th November 2018, 04:55 AM

what Stormie said

Helena · #**417** 21st November 2018, 02:31 PM

Thinking about you, Khampy. I hope you've been able to eat.

Khampelf · #**418** 21st November 2018, 04:14 PM

Thanks, Helena. Today was better for eating, but everything else sucked. I slept in hard and was convinced I was blowing off Thanksgiving plans. But today was only Wednesday, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. But I also forgot to take my morning meds and didn't remember until the next cycle. Bad Khampelf. My brother brought me some mint candies that are good for heartburn, those supported my attempts to eat. The roommate's cat got got into my IHOP breakfast, I was trying to tempt myself to eat, and it succeeded, mosty. The cat didn't even go for the bacon, he just dragged french toast across the kitchen counter. So, I spent the day with acid reflux hiccups on top of everything. J had a friend over but I spend the afternoon napping mostly.
Thanks for reading, Chemo Croniclers. Today was mostly complaints. Tomorrow will be better.

Sunny Daze · #**419** 21st November 2018, 07:52 PM

Glad you were able to eat. Cats is weird. Maybe the toast offended him?

stormie · #**420** 21st November 2018, 11:48 PM

Cat hates the French
I wish you an tomorrow of excellence, my friend.

What Exit? · #**421** 22nd November 2018, 04:17 AM

Hope you can enjoy some good food today.

JackieLikesVariety · #**422** 22nd November 2018, 04:56 AM

Happy Thanksgiving, Khampy.

Sunny Daze · #**423** 22nd November 2018, 08:03 PM

Indeed. Happy Thanksgiving, Khampy.

Ubik · #**424** 23rd November 2018, 05:21 AM

Happy Danksgiving!!

Glazer · #**425** 23rd November 2018, 08:29 AM

Khampelf has passed this morning. He went into the hospital yesterday morning after falling. Scans show his bowels had deteriorated. I don't have any words right now. So long brother.

Dragonlady · #**426** 23rd November 2018, 08:58 AM

Blessed be, Elfman.

Helena · #**427** 23rd November 2018, 11:37 AM

Oh no, oh shit.

teela brown · #**428** 23rd November 2018, 11:46 AM

Oh my god. Crap crap crap.

leafrog · #**429** 23rd November 2018, 11:54 AM

I've said it before, but fuck cancer, sideways, with a rusty chainsaw.

Ubik · #**430** 23rd November 2018, 05:25 PM

Oh....no words.

Safe travels, Khampelf.

All my best to you Khampelf. I really will miss seeing you around here. Safe flight my friend.

Springtime for Spacers · #**433** 26th November 2018, 09:37 AM

Damn, sorry to hear this.

Oxirane · #**434** 28th November 2018, 06:36 PM

When I read back in his last days posts, it's obvious that more was wrong than either he let on to or even knew, but his strength and personality just comes through, I hardly knew Khampelf, but he was obviously one of the good ones, the outpouring of emotion is testimony to his value as a friend and a contributor to this board...again, to all that knew him personally, I am very sorry for your loss...

Dragonlady · #**435** 28th November 2018, 06:44 PM

I confronted him no more than a month ago about exactly that. Something just didn't ring true to me. I knew him IRL, and thought that maybe he would be more forthcoming if squeezed a bit. He categorically denied that there was anything happening that was not being publicly documented.

I talked to his brother a couple nights ago, and he confirmed that VERY recently everything had been looking up and it wasn't until Wednesday that anything seemed even slightly off to him.

Oxirane · #**436** 28th November 2018, 07:08 PM

Wow, I know from our experience, things happen quickly, with my Dad, it attacked an area (his bones) that never occurred to the oncologists until the end, and he was poked, prodded and scanned on a regular basis...ugh...I would hope the Mods sticky this thread as a testimony to Khamphy...

EDT: I'm so sorry for your loss, Dragonlady, ugh...I don't know what to say...

Solfy · #**437** 29th November 2018, 05:42 AM

I hindsight, I do wonder about Khampy's post that said "Today was mostly complaints. Tomorrow will be better. " I hope from his perspective that it was.

Doyle · #**438** 29th November 2018, 06:03 AM

This make me very sad.

Clothahump · #**439** 29th November 2018, 12:34 PM

I just found this. We've lost a good one.

teela brown · #**440** 30th November 2018, 07:49 AM

I feel a little like a dog or a cat who keeps looking for their missing, deceased buddy pet. I keep gravitating to these threads because of a subconscious feeling that I'll find him here posting as usual.

LemmeOut · #**441** 30th November 2018, 09:12 AM

I check the boards on a daily basis, and continue to look for him. I'm still in a state of disbelief.
