No posts for the past couple of days as I have been very unwell.
I finished the chemo drugs on Saturday, I felt very weak for most of the day but no sickness or nausea. Sunday was a different story though. I woke at 6:30 am and straight to the bathroom, wretching into the toilet, then back to bed, this went on for the rest of the day every hour or so until 8:00 pm, I had been taking my anti sickness meds from day one and even managed to take them yesterday. I didn't eat all day and found it hard to drink as everything that went in came straight back out.
Today I got up at around 10:30 and I feel unbelievably weak, I can't face the thought of eating and feel aching all over, although no sickness, still a little bit nauseous. But keeping fluids down. Still not managed to eat really. I made some cereal this morning but couldn't eat it, it tasted awfull of some reason. Gail then made me a bagle with jam but I only had a bit and that was it.
This is similar to the first cycle, although I didn't have so much sickness only the nausea. My anti emetics were changed this time to what was described as the best of the anti emetics, Ondansetron, because I was so ill the first time. I'm starting to think that this is something I probably need to accept.
I feel awfull just now very weak and lethargic, but even when being sick it's in my head, I would take six months of this for a good result.
I know others are going through treatment just now or are just about to commence, my best wishes to all.
