When you have your first treatment, you have no clue what to expect or how you will react. You are given an endless list of possible side effects along with medications in case of the side effects. You are clueless to this reality and obviously we expect the worst to happen.
The day of the treatment was a hard reality sitting in the chair, but I knew that with my husband by my side I would get through it.
The day of the treatment I had some nausea and felt a little tired, day 2 I had the energy of a horse. I thought wow this is great, I am going to get through this with no problem. Day 3 came around and the nausea kicked in full force followed by extreme fatigue and horrible heart burn. At times the burning was so bad I felt like a dragon, I took my pills but they were not doing the job. I called the the oncology pharmacy at the hospital and they quickly prescribed me another medication to help coat my stomach. When drinking water was becoming almost impossible, I could not go on. I felt as though my head was no longer a part of my body, the fatigue took over my mind and body. This is nasty shit they are putting into my body, it better kill the fuckers, if there are any sleeping around in me.
Day by day it has gradually gotten better and today I can say that I feel like myself again, somewhat. I am glad that my treatments are every 3 weeks, not sure how I would handle the weekly or bi-weekly treatments. My hat off to all the men and women out there going through chemo therapy, it is easy for chemo to take over your body and turn you upside down. We must all fight and be stronger than the disease and all its ailments.
Again and forever, thank you for following my blog and for your support.
