Well thankfully, I have returned to almost normal again. I still feel a bit weak, very slightly nauseaouse. But as today has progressed I have felt more like myself.
The only thing I'm finding, and I did slightly the last cycle also, is I get a bit down. Not about the CLL or chemo just a general thing maybe sad is a better description. Not sure if its anything to do with the treatment or maybe I'm just getting old and longing for youthful journeys.
Taste and smell, now here is a thing. My tastes have definitely changed I'm vegetarian, but I have gone off foods I liked and have gone back to plainer things I can't face some of the things I liked before. Even fruit juices which I drank a lot of non fizzy. I find off putting and force myself to drink them. Smell, my smell has definitely become more sensitive an example being I was walking just behind Gail and one of her friends and I could smell toffee. No one else could. Transpires her friend had toffee in her pocket. Silly example I know but I seem to have a more acute sense of smell since the treatment began. I am prepared to be told I'm talking b*******ks but its my perception.
Take care all especially Lou who I'm sure is about to or has just commenced her second round of chemo. Keep with it it blows over.
