Thursday was uneventful, just dealing with the day-to-day with my 'tag along' again....whirrr-click! Just running out of gas earlier than expected. Hungry, but you know how it is when you don't know exactly what you are hungry for or what you CAN eat?
9:00 am - Well, dropped off my 'buddy' for another week and a half. Round 2 was a little more challenging than the first round, but I think it was more that I started out tired than the cumulative affects of the treatments. But I don't know that for sure. As I said on the Wednesday post, the side effects seemed to come on sooner this time. Sensitivity to cold was more pronounced this time, couldn't wash my hands with cold water....ouch; cold drinks made my throat feel 'funky', and I have a really severe pain in the jaw when I first try to eat. It goes away quickly, but my head feels like its going to explode until it does! Ugh. I have figured out I can control the pain by taking small bites of food. I looked it up....Oxiplaitin has this side affect. Great.
9:05 am Unleashed now, glad I came in early. Got the Neulasta shot, not looking forward to those side affects this weekend, but hopefully I'm better prepared.
Fatigue hasn't been a real problem yet, I guess I am just overall tired. As I walked into the Dr's office this morning to get unleashed from my 'buddy', my pace was slow, I looked up at the office building and sighed abit. Every two weeks....back here....again. Six months....I can do it. Whirrr-click!
