Alex had his third session on Thursday and has had a bad couple of days with nausea & fatigue - says its the worst he's felt so far. He was going to go and get his hair shaved short today but felt bad and stayed in bed most of the day. He hasn't had a headache this time. I have been trying to get him to drink like he did before - small glass of water every hour - but he is only managing sips so hasn't flushed the chemo out as much. He hasn't really managed to eat much, a little bit of chicken and mashed potato & gravy seems to be his comfort food at the moment but he couldn't manage much of that tonight.
The after effects of his first two sessions were not too bad just a little bit of nausea and headache/fatigue. He even managed to play the drums at a gig with his Dad and brother a week and a half ago and I was a very proud Mum :)
His hair started to come out about a week after the second session - luckily he has a lot of thick hair so it has thinned slowly, his pillow/bed is covered every morning and I go in and hoover it up while he has a relaxing bath. He decided not to shave it but to see what happened but has now decided to have a No 3 or 2 before shaving it all off completely.
Hopefully he will feel a bit better tomorrow after a good nights sleep :)
