Chemo 9


The side effects from the latest round of chemo have really been taking their toll. My decline started even earlier this time around. I started going downhill Thursday evening and began vomiting that night. Nausea continued off and on throughout the weekend, which up to this point hadn’t been much of a problem at all. I took a ginger pill before each meal and that helped quite a bit to relive the nausea. During my previous treatments I was able to stay up for a good part of the day in my chair at home. However, this time I found myself crawling into bed more often and feeling very, very drained. I’ve also been experiencing terrible constipation followed by diarrhea. I feel like I’ve been through the wringer this time around and I’m really glad there are only two more treatments remaining.
