I had chemotherapy on Tuesday, March 9th and consequently have spent the last week not venturing far from the couch. I may have naively thought I could manage a quick post during this period of "leisure", but I was wrong. The Doctor reports I tolerated the treatment well, but I think that is a matter of opinion.
I felt crummy, but the nausea was reasonably well controlled. I received 3 drugs to prevent nausea and two more to treat any which developed. I was also given an injection of Neulasta to accelerate the rebuilding of my blood cells. I know it is working because now I have the accompanying bone pain of white blood cells stampeding down my marrow and rushing the exits like a theater on fire. The price of progress in cancer treatment.
I expect things to improve over the next two weeks, if you don't consider hair with a short timer's attitude anything to worry about. One down, three to go.
