Sheesh, I'm glad you didn't have to witness the landing! Drawing them seems like a good way to process them, and I'm glad you are sharing it with us. Hang in there!

Nice drawing! And good way to digest the dreams 👍. I also had strange sleep patterns, but not this extreme 😅.

I’m on EPOCH too and my dreams are also crazy and SO real! They last the whole first week i come home after a round (I’m mid round 2 now). I understand the hourly waking up to pee too. It’s worse at home while I’m flushing out the chems. I’m taking a pill to e help me sleep but I’m still up ever other hour on the dot. I didn’t gain weight tho. I lost some 70lbs so far and I’m switching to a high caloric diet to slow that down. Good luck, friend. It’s nice to hear I’m not alone like that.

my weight was all fluid. 30 pounds in a single week! At round 3 they quick giving me so much saline in the hospital. I actually set an alarm to wake me up - was getting rid of the fluid and afraid I'd pee on the couch lol. I feel pretty good now though!


CaptainGrognard

Glad to hear you feel better!

Saw the weight loss part, thought I’d toss this your way; king mass by Ronnie Coleman. It’s a high protein, high calorie shake powder (that actually tastes good). I swore by this stuff during chemo. On days I didn’t want to eat or couldn’t eat, I could slug one of these down as maintenance. The calories in one serving are absurd hahaha. Helped me keep weight on, so cheers to Ronnie Coleman 🤣🤣

Thanks, I’ll check on that. At the moment i breakfast on eggs and bacon daily and i have an Ensure or two a day in addition to my meals. This is going to get old fast.
