2nd Day ~ Usual Side Effects

Well...nothing out of the ordinary for my 2nd day after chemo; pretty much the same side effects as last time. "Sunburn" on my chest, and flushed face which usually goes away by the 3rd or 4th day. Orange juice and lemonade seem to taste best; iced tea I can tolerate without too much dislike or discomfort, but I believe the Cokes are gone from my list. Not sure what is on the menu for dinner since I slept through breakfast and lunch; probably one of my Lean Cuise or Smart Ones pasta dishes; always good!

Tomorrow is a movie day here at the house with a dear friend; looking forward to that!

Love to all ~K~

4th Round Chemo ~ Let's Go!

Well, I know it's been a while since my last post, and I apologize; let's see where I left off.

I made it through my previous three rounds without any complications, and those weird side effects from the Oxaliplatin are really, really not that bad; the sensations to touching cold things is bearable, and the odd mouth sensations...well, they are usually the same; I've basically given up Cokes due to the fact that they now are way too sweet. Iced tea and lemonade are my standard choice of drink now days; didn't need to be drinking those Cokes anyway! LOL

No aversions to foods or them tasting different, which is nice! With the exception of jaw spasms after the first bite of something, everything is still pretty much the same!

Note: People really shouldn't bring in Panda Express while you are going through treatment! Makes the peanut butter crackers I brought in look like day old bread! Bring enough for me, or be prepared to share! LOL

Love to all ~K~
