So by the time Thursday rolled around I was feeling really, really sick.  All I could do was lay around on the couch and sleep.  I had no desire to eat anything and had no energy.  I was also having a really hard time getting myself to even want to take the study drug.  By this point I have tried two of the three nausea medications that I was given and neither seemed to do any good other than to make me constipated.  This morning I emailed the study coordinator to let her know what was going on and that I wasn't sure I wanted to continue on the study if it doesn't get better.  The nurse practitioner called me back shortly after that and we talked about some things we could try.  She had me get the last prescription filled and said to take it 30 minutes before I take the veliparib.  She also decided to send me down to the clinic to get some I.V. fluids with anti-nausea medication as well.  My kids were off-track at this time so I was able to leave them home and go over to the satellite clinic.  After some problems with the nurse not quite knowing what she was doing with using my port things went fine and I was able to get the fluids and I felt quite a bit better afterwards.  I also was given a prescription to take at night that is supposed to increase my appetite so I will feel like eating again.

By this point in the week I had skipped out on mutual on Wednesday night and ended up canceling soccer practice on Thursday.  I also was supposed to teach a combined YW lesson on Sunday but found someone to trade with me so I can concentrate on feeling better.  I had been contacted by my relief society president on Thursday morning so I emailed her back and let her know what was going on as well and we decided to have a few meals brought in until I felt better.  So she brought the first meal that night which was a great help.  My poor husband has been going to work and then getting home around 6:15 in the evening with me on the couch, the house a mess and the kids hungry.
