Weight 161.8 FBG 274 after Doxorubicin chemo treatment that is given with glucose so it was expected. It will start going down again starting tomorrow and be back down my next Tuesday if not before. I have one more treatment on May 5th and then maybe things will get back to normal. Not sure where go after that. My RN I see when oncologist isn't available. I told her I wasn't sure what his plan after the last chemo treatment and she said she didn't either. She had looked to see what his next plan was but he had not posted it as of yet. The nice thing about the high FBG after treatment is that I feel good. This is when I have to hit the protein which I am doing.
Weight bumped up to 163 lb today but my FBG was 118 so I guess that is why. That thrills me because the glucose didn't keep higher like it usually does. I looked up all the mushrooms that is in my mushroom coffee and it could have caused the blood sugar to come down. Hope everyone has a good day.

Trish,,I am amazed that you feel better with higher glucose. But you are not diabetic.
My weight dropped down to 176. its been months since i was that low. i have to keep going.
At the casino yesterday DH tripped on something and fell. I didnt see it. He says he didnt get hurt. I told him he should have reported it in case since he tripped on something they left on the floor. He didnt have a good night.
Weight today 161.2 lbs. FBG 123. I think the fiber in the food DN made me helped. She brought me 2 of the Low carb breakfasts I'm seeing people making on FB. I copied some of the recipes and she copied them on her cell phone so she may make some others in the future. As soon as I'm finished with my chemotherapy, I will go on this newer way of eating low carb. I read that some of the metastasis in my abdomen is caused by keto diets. So won't be doing a keto diet anymore, just in case.
I look forward to next week hoping I can continue feeling good because DN, her DH and Daddy plan to come over Thursday and we are going to have BBQ. Her DH is going to cook ribs and they will go to the BBQ place on the way to our house to get brisket and sides.
Carol Sue I'm sorry you are having problems with posting. Have a blessed weekend.

Weight is down 1 lb to 178.2. I hope its not fluid again. Glucose is high.
Im still feeling very weak and tired with no energy. DH wants me to go to the ER. I dont think you can go there and tell them you are tired. I think im low in something.
DH keeps telling me i need to move and he keeps making me go places. Thats not the answer. i just feel worse.
I had to enter this twice to get it to hold.

Carol Sue I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling tired. You probably should go see your doctor.
Weight today down a little to 159.2 lbs and FBG 126. Its been a week since last chemotherapy and I'm feeling pretty good. I hope I will not have any tiredness any other side effects I've had before.
I watch this girl on FB who makes a lot of low carb but not keto but healthy. I'm going to have DH get me some of the foods so I can make some of them. I took the foods DN made me with oats and added almond flour to it and they turned out like a mug cake. I want to start making pancakes for breakfast with cottage cheese and yogurt and eggs to eat along with my mushroom coffee.
Carol Sue I'm glad to hear you will go see your doctor. I advise you to do that because when I felt so bad in March, I really wondered if this was it and I was going to leave this world. Thank God for my oncologist who stays on top of things. He was the one who checked my blood work and found that I need a blood transfusion and to be hydrated. There my just be something going on that you don't know and with help you can feel better.
Weight today was the same as yesterday 159.2 lbs so guess that is real. FBG 120. I'm feeling pretty good today. Not sure I will exercise today or not. My niece, her hubby and Daddy are coming over today bringing BBQ for a early dinner. I am looking forward to it. The great thing about today is that I am past me 1st week after 5th infusion and I feel so good. A lot better than I did the last time.
