Last week I started my first round of chemo. Man it sucks. I only have two minor symptoms right now, I cannot swallow cold things and my tongue is tingly, but I had to wear a pump for 48 hours. Then the day after they removed it, I was miserable. I felt like I got hit by a truck. Luckily I never felt like throwing up, but I could not eat or really do anything. Just felt like crap.
I then got a cold on top of it. Usually I can beat a cold in a couple of days, but I am on day 7 and it is just now starting to feel better.
I sat next to a guy in chemo who has the same type of cancer and on the same drugs as I am and he said that the worst days are always the weekend after the pump removed. He was a god send as he has been helping me through this and giving me positive reinforcements.
I am thankful for all of the support from my friends and family.
