No Yellow Jersey - Early Tales of Cycle Two

Yesterday was the first day of the second cycle on NKTR-102. Thus far the side effects are not nearly as dramatic as they were following the first dose. However, these are early days and I've been warned side effects of the drug are cumulative. No headache this go 'round, but did have slightly blurred vision - which continues this morning. Also had a brief wave of nausea shortly after my buddy IV made her exit. Thank goodness no vomiting resulted. Have discovered a symphony has taken up residence in my tummy, at least the percussion section. Some minor hints of the diarrhea to come, but again no serious drama yet. My strongest complaint pertains to my sinuses. Either I've got  a nasty attack of fall allergies, or a hideous cold has started to set in. In any case, my sinuses ache, eyes and soft palate itch, cough is more frequent, and I'm sneezing to beat the band (if not that Total Tummy Timpani). Am resigned to spend the next few days buried in blankets with cups of steaming liquid at the ready.
