My second chemo treatment went well (now 50% through phase 1 of chemo). After discussing some of my side effects with my doctor, he suggested changing a couple things. First, he switched to a different anti-nausea medicine and second, they increased the drip time on one of the chemo meds. I am not sure which one did the trick, but I did not get the horrible headache like the first go-round. The first few days were still not pleasant, but I made it through, and it didn't seem to be quite as bad as the first. I am sure part of that was because I knew what to expect. I also increased my fluid intake and tried to drink an 8oz glass every hour.
C had a little sleep over at her mom-mom's, so I had plenty of time to rest over the weekend. She had lots of fun playing with Uncle Tommy & Uncle Ryan. Poor Steve had to deal with not only a grouchy chemo girl, but also a grouchy PMSing one. Poor guy, but he came out in one piece.
Aside from the lingering fatigue (that is driving me crazy), I am trying to get back to normal.
