I am just now recovering from the first round of chemo. This was as rough as any round I have had. That's why I haven't written in a while.
The week of the chemo I was very sick. The following "rest" week, my intestines would not hold anything - I lost every bit of fluid and food I could get down. As a result, I spent every day this week at the outpatient clinic hooked up to IV fluids and potassium. The doctor was concerned at the slow recovery. I was bummed because in the long term, I don't want them to stop, delay, or reduce the chemo. And in the short term, I wanted to get back to work and catch up with things at home after a week of being sick.
Things are finally better today. So I get about two days of break and then the next round begins Monday. I'm ready to go. And I am simply hoping that this past round was a fluke and not a sign of incraesed problems to come.
