Well today was the 5th day of my chemo treatment. Which means that I am through with my first full week of the toxins. And I have to say that I feel better than I did last night. But it took awhile for me to feel better. Partly because last night I had my first throwing up episode at 4.30 in the morning. I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but its not something I want to go through again. I was feeling just horrid all morning because of it. I didn't start to feel better until almost the end of chemo session today, they gave me some extra anti-nausea stuff. Since I got home the only side effects I have been having are acid reflux, some gas, and just a little bit of nausea, but that went away with some meds. This meant I was actually able to eat a little meal for dinner. And so far no more nausea after dinner. Lets just hope it keeps up.
So next week I only have one round of treatment on Tuesday, its the Bleomycin which only takes an hour but has the most side effects. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to my 3 day weekend lol. As chemo only last 48 hours, I should have a great monday.
Below is a pic of me again asleep in the chemo chair. I'm actually asleep and not just posing just fyi. Also give it up for the sexy hand of Mel. Oh yeah.
