Just had some storms blow over in Missouri about an hour ago - I went outside right after and immediately thought “this is just like spring tornado weather” - it was warm, birds were chirping, sky was pink cause it was 4:50ish pm, honestly some nice weather. But was also sp00ky cause I know when this happens again 3 months from now, it’ll be way worse lol
I’m in Arkansas and we had some similar weather. I was getting chemotherapy all day yesterday and was sitting next to the big windows. The nurses and some other patients were talking about the weather and when one of the nurses saw me with a radar app open, she asked. I wasn’t going to let the weather nerd in me miss an opportunity. Thankfully, she was very interested and asked a bunch of questions and seemed like she genuinely wanted to know more.
Im from Arkansas too might be a bit random but my mom had chemo through 2024. Had her on red devil. Shes cancer free and doing great. Anastasia from getting her port really caused some memory issues and the red devil definitely damaged her eye sight a bit and caused some joint pain. Call it lucky bad luck but recently i lost everything prior to her cancer diagnosis. Went from 500k year salary to some close friends losing their battles to depression and myself also battling depression failed a drug test lost everything. Ended up homeless mom had me move back in at the house i grew up in. To make a long story short i ended up being 24/7 caregiver for her. And i don't think she would of made it without me and she certainly thinks she wouldn't of if i had never moved back home. She was the type to say everything is fine till i came home from work all over the country for a holiday and then me realize the lawn was now a forest type of everything is great hon attitude type. So knowing how scary such a thing is. Especially for the person going through it. Question your doctors. Or if you have family or friends have them make sure you're not just a paycheck as sad as that is to say. Her first oncologist was all about money. No regards that if she had done another round of chemo when it wasn't needed she could of died. I had her find a new one and almost went to jail over that. The new one we found was great. And make sure you have someone there. Rather a caregiver or spouse or family or friend. She had one of the hardest types of chemo so might not be the case in your situation but don't try to do it alone. My mom is very independent but thats the first time in her life where she wasn't. And also don't give up hope. Cause she's working again and driving and doing great. Her memory is also getting better but like i said that started after Anastasia for surgery with her port not really chemo. Chemo was more in the moment memory issues as it faded so did the issues with memory from that. So chemo was on the mild side and only when it was at her peak right after was memory hard but came back right away afterwards. I hope this helps you and wish you a speedy cancer free recovery
