I’m doing alright, never had real bad nausea but did have some. The day of I was pretty much fine. Friday I felt a little bad but not much. Saturday I was a little worse but not hugely worse, though I did eat cereal for dinner because if I ate more than that I think it would have been worse. Sunday was worse still, just ate crackers with a grilled cheese sandwich (with just one slice of cheese) and a couple small pieces cut from a chicken from a roasted chicken from Jewel (grocery store). Today I feel better than yesterday, shouldn’t have to limit what I eat too bad. Ate a sub for lunch and that was fine.
The lumps and my goiter don’t hurt much anymore, at least for the last few days. Don’t know if it will stay that way but here’s to hoping. Since chemo I haven’t felt as shitty as I have for the previous last month or two. So for now I’m doing good, the nausea wasn’t bad and is subsiding it seems and I feel fairly better now overall. We don’t know what the other chemo treatments are going to be like. I’ve heard that some people end up feeling more nauseous and sick after each chemo treatment, so that’s a possibility but it affects everyone different and most people I’ve talked to have other cancers so it’s a different treatment anyway. So for all I know it may be no worse than it was this time for the rest of them. It’s one of those wait and see kind of deals.
I finally took the tape off my incisions from the port surgery. They both look pretty good. They still have some of the glue stuff over them but that should be gone within a few days. You can see the bump from he port better now with the tape gone and with the swelling down (which has been down for a few days).
