Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[Alaskan]

I am making a pot using the Vacuum Coffee maker.

It smells so good....

I am super jealous.

My house smells like little boy bottom.

Coffee is good for us. The medical professionals just don't want to give up the nagging yet.

In my case it has to do with the coffee not playing nice with the chemo drugs and the neuropathy caused by the drugs and the CML (dbl hit)

I've cut back to 1/2 caff most of the time but that's as far as I go. Geesh, life without coffee????

Is it the coffee or the caffeine?
I realize the caffeine helps my brain function...and from what my friends have told me chemo gives a person some serious brain fog.
Maybe if you use a really small cup and can trick your brain into thinking you are getting a full cup.
Half a cup would just make me mad.

My Mom has dealt with severe neuropathy in her feet and a little in her hands after the chemo. However, it's been a couple of years now and it's almost gone. Hang in there!!!

Thank you 3goodeggs!
! need my caffeine!!!!!

Brain fog is putting it mildly!!! I had a cap made up to wear on my worst days that says "I have chemo brain what's your excuse" honestly.

I not only love the taste of my coffee, in all it's forms, I need my coffee to function! 50/50 coffee works as long as it's in copious amounts

Hey, whatever excuse I can use to keep my beloved cup in my hands works for me!!!

(I had the "original" treatment years ago, now I have to take a chemo drug every morning to keep things in check

)

Thank you cindynkidsd!

mine will never go away (it's a side effect of the leukemia as well as the drugs used to control it, whoppee) BUT, fortunately it is progressing slowly and it's something I've learned to function with and I have a really great oncologist and support system. Besides, on the days things just don't want to function (got motor neuropathy too, oh goody) I have a good excuse to just curl up with my coffee mug and my puppy in my recliner!!!!

Yes Alaskan, it often gets me out of shoveling snow!!!! Unfortunately, not this morning. Had to shovel a path before my spoiled chickens would come out of the coop!

AND,where was my hubby???? out front making a snowman!
