It's now 5 days after my first chemo session and I can honestly say it well and truly whooped my ass! I was expecting to at least have 1 day where the steroids carried me through but the first morning after, I woke up feeling green. I took all the meds and my brave hubby gave me my injection. Part of me thinks that if its made me feel this rough, then its doing its job. The other part of me is really not looking forward to the next 4 months of chemo. It's a necessary evil. That friend who is doing what you need, but not what you want.
Nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite....all the expected side effects. Plus a migraine thrown in for good measure and funky taste buds. And lets not mention the 4 days without going the loo! As you can probably tell, my positivity has been diluted these past few days. But it's not gone! Lovely messages from people have cheered me up (even though I've been too tired to reply to them all).
So even though I'm still feeling pretty rail roaded from the chemo, I know that the battle has now begun but I will be victorious!
