I do not know how much stronger I will get, or if I will lose strength with whatever treatment comes next, but my hope is that I can carry my luggage up steps when needed and I can walk about a mile without feeling like I haven't had any water in so long it dries out my mouth, and I won't be huffing and puffing from the effort of walking. It's only two and a half months until I am scheduled to fly out of here. If I get to feeling better more and more, then I will start getting more excited about my trip.

Do they have you on an oral antiemetic? Any relief from OTC or other remedies? (Kaopectate, Pepto, Zantac, Cannabis, etc.?)
Some anti-anxiety medications help cancer patients with certain types of nausea, but they would preclude you from drinking alcohol and have other drawbacks. You might ask your doctor about it.
