Post second chemo session update
Well... It's been one day since my second chemo session, and honestly - it doesn't feel that much different than after the first one.
I still feel tired - I slept a lot yesterday, and even now, I am wondering if I should go to sleep after finishing up the entry. My stomach has been unsettled, but it comes and goes. So does the vague feeling of nausea. This morning, it felt bad enough that I was pretty sure I was going to throw up, but nothing came. And it hasn't felt that bad since. *тьфу-тьфу-тьфу*
Chemo session itself ended earlier than last time - mostly because there were simply less patients. After it was over, my mom and I got lunch, which I think may have been a mistake. In retrospect, I probably should have waited a few hours, got lunch a little later, or got something smaller.
Will have to see how it goes next time.
Once last chemo session happens.... No, a week later, so I can suffer through the side-effects... I'm thinking of organizing dinner to celebrate my recovery. My mom would be there, and so would annanov and vladiatorr, of course. I'm definitely going to invite tweelore, alliancesjr, rowandoll and
Randall Hitchcock. Probably some people I know through my day job, some Chicago area friends and acquiescences I mostly keep touch with through social media these days.
There are people I would like to invite but who wouldn't be able to make it due to geographical proximity and/or money (like, I know randirogue and
dryoki713 would if they could, but it just doesn't seem feasible). But people who are not quite that far away geographically but are still outside Chicagoland would be welcome.
I have another four long months to figure it out.
Two treatments down. 10 treatments to go.
