2nd Chemo done!

so far so good! It has now been over 6 hours since my chemo finished and I feel just fine. No nausea, no vomiting. I have to admit I was extrenley hunger again but tempered it a bit and just had a small meal at supper, and lots of dry crackers, popsicles and rice cakes since coming home. Drinking fluids as required to flush the epirubicin and cyclophospamide.
They equipped me with a whole new arsenol of drugs, to try to prevent side effects, all of which have warnings for drowsiness, and they are what they say......extreme drowsiness is right! I came home and went to bed and slept until after Rob came home at 4. I all really zonked but trying to sit up for awhile and update you all, while I can. I can handle sleep much bettter than sleep and puking!!! Forgive me any spelling or grammar fauz pahs! One of the scripts I have , but have not filled is for an oral equivalent of marajauna and she said if I have access to feel free to smoke it if I become nauseated! am I dreaming or is life looking up! LOL, intotal I think I have 7 drugs lined up on my dresser and still one yet filled. Here is hoping! If this goes well then I should be good to go to Hamilton at the end of the month!

Well thats it for now, will give you an update in the morning if possible but I am heading back to bed.
later kids

Hi Shirl,
Glad to know it went better than last time & just dozy (he he) this time around.

Now, that last scrip sounds like the best one of the bunch- send Rob quick!!!

Love & hugs,
