Had my Day 8 Chemo session today. This was only one particular drug that was used and is supposed to be less rough on my body in general. I still have major hiccups, which the doctors (and nurses) are trying to figure out for me. There are different medications they can try, however with every medication comes potential other issues. So, it's a tricky needle to thread. But they are working on it.
The nausea and getting sick is still a bit of an issue. Normally that would be resolved by now, but for me, it's still an issue. You learn very quickly that some people have very little side effects from Chemo, and others have a lot. I am considered in the middle. If I can get rid of the hiccups and nausea, I'd only have the fatigue left.
As for the fatigue, I know many of you have seen my video blogs, and were probably not going to say anything, but yes, I know how tired and sickly I look. This is simply fatigue, which is pretty much 24-7 for me these days.
In any regard, I am now clear of Chemo for two full weeks, so hopefully some of the side effects will resolve before I start my 2nd cycle of Chemo on October 4th.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for all the support.
