Can we get it back? – Chapter 31
“Oh, God. I have to go. I will call you back later. Something’s wrong with Bette.” Tina says and just hangs up the phone and runs into the bedroom. There she sees Bette on the floor.
“Oh Babe, what happened?” She asks worriedly, getting down on her knees beside Bette.
“I woke up, needing to vomit. I tried to make it to the bathroom, but my legs gave in. Like I suddenly lost all strength in them.” Bette gets out in between sobs. “I’m sorry.” Bette says as she leans her head on Tina’s shoulder when Tina put her arm around her to comfort her.
“No need to be sorry babe. Can you make it to the bathroom now?” Tina asks.
“I’ll try, but I need help. My legs feel like jelly.” Bette replies.
Tina stands up and helps Bette up also. They make it to the bathroom and Bette walks over to the sink and washes her face. “My legs are better now.” Bette adds as she walks over to the toilet.
“Okay, good. I will go and get some cleaning supplies from the kitchen. Need to clean the floor.” Tina says, giving Bette a smile.
“I’m sorry.” Bette says looking up at Tina.
“Hey, no need to be sorry. You’re sick babe. It’s my job to care and help you.” Tina says as she takes a few stops towards Bette and leans down and places a soft kiss on Bette’s forehead.
She then runs out and into the kitchen to get the right equipment. While Tina was in with Bette, Angie had arrived home.
“Oh hey sweetie, we didn’t hear you come in. How’s your day been?” Tina asks.
“Hi mom. I’ve had a good day. How is mama B?” Angie asks worriedly.
“Well, she’s having a bit of a hard time with the hair-situation. And right now, I have to clean up. She had a little mishap. She didn’t make it to the bathroom on time. So, the results were vomit on the bedroom floor.” Tina says as she fills up the bucket with water and cleaning liquids.
“Oh. Is she okay?” Angie asks.
“Yeah, she’s fine. She had treatment earlier today. Last one this week. And then only next week left. Then she’ll be done with treatments.” Tina says and smiles over at Angie.

This is a rough time when you feel so helpless and sick. Angie was perfect in her response. And at least Bette is trying to eat something. Hopefully the nausea won’t last long. Take one day at a time and get the rest and nutrition she needs. Angie and Tina should plan some at home activities like watching a movie. Give Bette the time and attention she needs to relax and know they are both present. Keep telling Bette how beautiful she is inside and out. Plan a trip for them to take six months from now when Bette has regained most of energy and strength. It will take many months to recuperate fully. Bette needs to take the time she needs to get through this. But she needs Tina and Angie for that to happen….
Thanks for the update….
Well said Martha, i fully agree with you!
Agree completely
Ditto. A trip is a really nice idea. Something to look forward to.
Hey Lauren,
Great chapter – Bette is struggling but her two biggest supporters are there by her side.
Agree with Martha about the 6 month point trip – something to plan & look forward to.
As a cancer survivor myself, I endured chemo for 6 months & radiation treatments everyday for 6 weeks. They weren’t easy & gave me mild reactions, but fortunately I didn’t loose my hair on my head, just my arms and legs. Weird – but that’s how it went. Constant nausea and weight loss were other factors, but I counted myself lucky as I saw so many other patients that were sicker than I was. Today, 19 years later, I still survive and I am thankful everyday for that blessing.
The treatment can be just as painful and debilitating as the disease itself. Having a string support system is key to surviving the side effects & health issues. Keeping your strength up is another key factor.
Thank you for this chapter & story. Appreciate the care you are giving it.
