But then I hit day 4! Yay.
On the plus side, I do not feel like a truck has run me over. But I do feel tired. Tireder than yesterday, and less interested in forcing myself outside for a nice walk or even up to get a shower. And I definitely am more nauseous. Unfortunately the thing that best helps my nausea is eating, but I have no desire to get through this cancer thing and then find myself having to lose 300lbs, so I'm going to have to find another way. Plus obesity is a risk factor for cancer, so can't have that.
What's helping so far today.
- Work, yay! I went into the office for a few hours the last couple mornings; that was great. Today I'm working from home since the extra effort of getting dressed and walking to my office sounds like a bit much. Still, so nice to have a distraction and feel somewhat productive.
- Kitties. Even if they do want to sit somewhere between my face and my computer screen, or climb up on my chest which is still healing post-surgery.
- Check-ins from friends. Thanks to those who are thinking of me. It's so appreciated.
- Lifesavers. Thanks Shauna for getting them for me, they do help with the nausea.
Here's hoping day 5 is on the upswing, and hey, only 3 more AC chemo doses to go before switching to the (supposedly) easier taxol. Not that I'm counting!
