I tend to either disappear for a few days when I either don't feel good, or do feel good . This time I haven't felt so good. Like clockwork after day 3 of chemotherapy is over I started with the very tired, heavy armed feeling again. By Thursday the nausea set in. Friday and Saturday were nausea days too. I really was diligent in staying on both Zofran and Compazine, but it didn't seem to do much. Nausea stinks.
I had read somewhere that it is common for a woman to gain 7 pounds during chemotherapy. I wondered how this could be possible since you're throwing up and have d no appetite. During all 3 days of chemotherapy they pump you full of steroids and while you still feel good, you want to eat everything in sight. Then you get sick and it's tough for a few days keep anything down and nothing sounds good at all. Then after you feel better again you eat everything you had dreamed of eating before. It's quite a roller coaster. I've had funny cravings along the way. I love ice cold fruit cocktail cups, strawberry milk, and chocolate milk. Do I sound like a 2 year old?
Anyway, I am feeling better again, glad to get out of that nasty nausea hole. I get my labs drawn tomorrow and hopefully all my counts will be good and no worries.
