Well, I did in fact survive round 2 of Chemo and am now feeling the after effects of toxic cocktail #3. This time was different...not sure why. Maybe the extra week that I had to recoup from #2 had something to do with it. My wbc's were way up (for me) and my rbc's were down?? What's up with that?? Anyway, the side effects of the actual chemo infusion this time have now rid me of yet another fast food restaurant. McDonald's Big Macs are no longer a favorite. That is a good thing since I will be back on Weight Watchers after this next week or two. Food right now is not a pleasant thing...nothing is good...but I am still eating it. I again, don't know what I want...ahhh, the confusion. The fact that I am on meds to prevent nausea and diarrhea makes me totally feel like my stomach is ready to explode. Pardon the visual but I need to either barf or crap, neither of which is happening. I have been having headaches as a side effect of the Zofran. The steroids have been wreaking havoc on my sleep again but hopefully tonight will be the end of that since today was my last dose. Typing sucks too...cause of the numb fingers...but the bright spot with this is that I DO know this will get better because it did last week. It was almost completely gone!! YAY!! Now it is back...and is about as annoying as that cat I hear howling cause it wants to go outside - which will get better soon too..LOL!
Now all I have to worry with is avoiding the "Swine Flu"... ;)
