Meals for today:
-
- Half a pancake
- Bowl of grapefruit
-
Well I’ve transitioned from one extreme to another; my
appetite dropped drastically, just 1 week into the second phase. The nausea is consuming, influencing my every decision (including food intake). The other
major side affect that I've been coping with over the past couple of weeks has been the repeated migraines.
Even though these phases are intense, their side affects
consuming, I can now look back and check two months off of my calendar. Whether
this gets harder or easier, I’ve learnt so far that the best way to take on the
challenges is to endure them day by day.
Today I haven’t had any chemo drugs. In fact, I haven’t been to the
hospital for about a week and have been feeling quite normal; although I go in
again soon to finish off the last bit of this phase.
Like I said, two months down, two weeks till the next phase,
five months (hopefully) till the end of treatment and 17 days until Christmas.
Breeding optimism,
