Chemo Schmemo. Nothing rhymes with Chemo. It isn't fun.
Round Two Chemo is tomorrow. I had a check in appointment with Dr. Favret on Wednesday and my blood work is good - very stable. We went over how I have been feeling since chemo number one and she thinks I am doing remarkably well. Now that she knows how the chemo impacts me, she is able to give me the go ahead for a couple prescriptions and OTC meds to help with the side effects. She was surprised that I still have my hair - usually it is really coming out by week 3. I swear I am willing it to stay in my head. I know it won't work ultimately but I won't give up easily. She also said that the side effects other than fatigue don't really get worse, it is the fatigue that adds up. So I am not to nervous about round two and I am feeling quite normal today so of course, tomorrow they will mess me up again. Sigh. But after this two down and only four to go!!
