Had my first treatment with the new chemo on Tuesday. Haven't felt so tired for some time. Fortunately the expected vomiting and diarrhea have yet to materialize. I credit the anti-nausea meds I'm taking for much of that. Interestingly, constipation is more of an issue this go 'round. Good thing I like prunes. So I'm taking things rather easy. Sleeping when my pillow calls, reading, a bit of crocheting, and eating lightly. Hey, could be worse. Not sure if this is my new normal or if the side effects won't kick in for a few more days. With previous drugs, there was often a delay of three to five days before I felt any ill effects. Also don't know if the side effects get worse with each subsequent dose. Yes, my care team can tell me what they think about all this, but everyone reacts differently to the different medications and thus far (knock on wood) I haven't been dealt too many bad hands. Fingers crossed my good luck continues.
When I receive Yoriko's photos (Penny is delivering them), I will post about my trip to Japan.
Nap time!
