Feelin' pretty icky today. Very tired, nauseous...don't feel like eating but ironically feel better when I do. Crashed at 9:30 p.m. Woke up last night in middle of night feeling sick to tummy. Took some meds. Ate a yogurt. Felt better. Slept 'til 8:30. Slow to start...having trouble getting housework done is main thing. Need to lower standards or have some angels visit.
Okay on meals. Made a nice pot of chicken veggie soup that'll last a few days. Wanting salads (????) and healthy light fair. Lots of veggies, salmon, grilled chicken, rice...not craving heavy casseroles or desserts. Craving good juice, you know w/kale and bananas and blueberries and all that good stuff! Shay is bringing me her juicer!
From the look of my meds schedule, looks like the first four days after chemo are rough (going by the amounts of combative drugs they give you those days) then it tapers off. It seems like you then have a full "good" week and then receive the next chemo again...then the cycle continues for 7 more times. Until February!
Hair should fall out on Saturday, November 2nd so that's my target date for follicle fallout bash. More on the later.
Love & Hugs to all of you! Annie
