October 19 to 25, 2009Alisha experienced nausea and vomiting several times a day along w/ massive headaches for the first time since the beginning of chemotherapy. She lost her appetite, laid down or slept for most of the day. The CT scan on Thursday did not help; however, she didn't need to drink the awful white contrast liquid for 1 hour prior to the CT scan since she couldn't hold anything down. The doctors thought she might have contracted meningitis, but quickly ruled that out b/c she had no fevers. After various prodding and poking from the doctors and nurses, nobody could explain her intermittent painful headaches and episodes of vomiting. Luckily, she was back to her old self by Friday and we didn't have to guess the cause! Alisha is not too keen on her new wig that arrived this week. She reluctantly tried it on while telling us that she will not ever need it - we're all hopeful of a miracle.
