I'm still feeling pretty good, no nausea, upset stomach, bone pain...nothing! I'm pretty much in the clear from this week's chemo treatment. My only side effects are a slight headache (life with a 2 year old), a little foggy, dry mouth/mildly sore throat (from the chemo drugs), and red flushed face (from the steroids). My appetite is good, I'm sleeping well and my energy is pretty decent. I took Lilly to Gymboree today and we made it though our 45 minute session plus an additional 30 minutes of open play afterwards! I was shocked.
I almost feel guilty (well...not really) that I am feeling so well. I'm totally prepared for it not to be this easy next time. Hey- I'll take what I can get! Next week is when the fatigue would set in, I am receiving the Neulasta injections to help boost my white blood cells and prevent the major fatigue associated with chemo...it's another wait and see kinda thing.
