Icky Days are Here Again

Today is day #3 of chemo cycle #2. I feel off and on, ill and well, completely exhausted. Keeping my body at a comfortable temperature is complicated. My head gets cold if I don't wear a cap. My bed sweats, although not related to my treatments, do me no favours during sleep time. I am taking more medication this time to keep the nausea away. I don't know if it is working or not. When I eat I feel good...for a little while...then the nausea starts again. I really don't like this at all. I think we should be sedated for the first three days instead of going through these highs and lows. 

I have lost the majority of my hair on my head. My scalp is very dry. When I feel less pukey I am going to exfoliate the shit out of it. The hair on my legs and underarms finally stopped growing. Thankfully I still have my brows and lashes. Hurray for the little things. 

Dr. K. was away this week so I didn't get the results of the HER 2 test back yet. I only have one test between now and session #3. Just one blood test the day before chemo. This was lovely news. 

Ok. Well that is my update for now. Nothing exciting but this is my reminder as well because I am very forgetful. I will forget that I felt crappy and think the weekend went by with unicorns jumping through rainbows all the while feeding me marshmallow snowballs and homemade toffee.

Anyway...gotta go...well, stop typing because I am tired.

Cheers
