I didn't have as much actual sickness this time, although the nausea is still hanging around. What hit me most this time was the exhaustion, which I found depressing because I felt I wasn't coping as well as I expected - I have yet to learn that I must expect nothing with chemo!
I turned the corner yesterday afternoon, and found I had more energy. I had assumed to be able to manage fairly well with my 2 year old for the last few days, based on last cycle but until yesterday I really could not have coped on my own so I have gladly accepted every offer of help. I am just so thankful for our lovely friends and family.
