First day of my second 5 day chemo was yesterday Thu 7th July, should have started the day before (Wednesday) before but there wasn't a bed available, feeling fine, the first session was a bit of a learning experience but I feel more prepared with an idea what'll be happening this time round.
Had a bit of a rough time with mouth ulcers & bowel problems after the first session but after a week & half or so got these sorted and then got back to close to normal quite quickly, only lingering effects have been some changes to my sense of taste (can no longer drink coffee - tastes horrid), and while not as easy to tire as I was initially, still find myself having a kip in the early afternoon most days. No longer need to shave and my head is starting to look quite shiny now, have also lost my nasal hairs and consequently my nose sometimes runs like a tap which can be a little embarrassing.
Wishing you all well.
Dave
