In bed at 9pm... awake at 1:30am... really looking forward to getting off these steroids.
I had a good weekend, mum and dad came down saturday and cooked us a meal and we watched Overboard (romcom classic). Few of my mates came down saturday/sunday as well, really good to see them, played a bit of Wii and... yeah, cooked some more food. Cooked an absolutely cracking leg of lamb sunday night, with apple pie for pudding. All those episodes of Come Dine With Me and Masterchef are starting to pay off.
Monday was a bit of a joke, had a meeting with the student advisors at 10am, which went fine, got all the information I needed about Student Disability grants and that... more bloody forms to fill out, be glad when that's all done. Right after that the hospital phoned me to ask why I wasn't there yet, turns out they got my appointment time wrong and I was supposed to be there for 10am. So I went straight there from Uni, without any of my stuff, got there just after 11 and was there until 6. I only had 2 and half hours of treatment, I have no idea how it lasted 7 hours.
Feeling pretty sick at the moment, I took the anti-sickness they gave me but it hasn't helped all that much. It started yesterday morning really so I'm not sure what set it off, just general nausea from chemo I suppose. Right, I should probably see if I can't get back to sleep...

Try and drink plenty of water with Chemo. I would go back to bed after Chemo and have the next day too, after my morning walk. It is a bit different depending on your chemo.
Take the anti emetics as prescribed, and if they don't work, tell the staff at Chemo and they will give you something else. You do need to rest though. Save your energy for when you can make most use of it. You can do some reading in bed when you are awake.
