Wednesday 3rd November
Well I had my second bout of chemotherapy on Wednesday. The cold cap was very cold. I think that might be because my hair is getting thinner although not very noticeably.
Having chemotherapy in the morning is preferable mainly because the feeling cr*ppy bit happens during the afternoon and evening allowing a reasonable night's sleep.
Once again I threw up copiously but felt better soon after, although eating dinner was a bit beyond me,so I had bread and water.
Overall I feel better this time than I did at this point after the first bout. Not quite as zonked but definitely a bit out of it.
I think that the worst bit is that I do feel tired but simply cannot sleep very well. So I have a near constant feeling of fatigue. Still at least I am not feeling nauseous.
As for the other side effects such as constipation I have been taking Psyllium husks which should help, although it is akin to drinking sawdust mixed in water. So far I cannot say it has had any definite effect. Maybe I'll do a consumer report of "Things To Keep You Regular". Next up, dried apricots!
