Day one after chemo
So this morning was no picnic, groggy, out of it, light nausea, woozy. I was able to eat just fine, and it seemed like the more the day went one (and the drugs from last night wore off) I was feeling marginally better. I also went back to the Dr's office to get a booster shot (GCFS I think it's called, don't have my handy notebook by me) which stimulates the bone marrow to make more white blood cells, which boost your immune system and make you heal quicker from the chemo. Side effects may be bone pain, but not everyone gets that. None so far for me, knock on wood. I then had an appointment with an acupuncturist named Ella who was LOVELY. Appointment was at 4, I was home by 6, ate dinner with the family, Bob and I put Thomas to bed...and I realized I was actually feeling pretty ok. Had a long Epsom salt soak in the tub (per Ella - she said it was a good detox, must do it for the first three days after chemo). And now am snuggled up in bed with high hopes I can sleep without taking anything. Looking forward to sweet dreams....
