Day one, Chemo cycle 2: this morning I was knocked for six, with severe nausia and a little vomiting which thankfully stopped by midday. I'm hoping ithis cycle follows the same pattern as the last- I was sick the first morning, then fine (apart from exhaustion for the remaining 4 and a half days.
Found out this week, I'll be having six cycles altogether, which basically means I'm stuck doing this every month up to May- such joy!
I think the worst thing is you have to put so many plans on hold, or change them altogether. Wghen I left Taiwan in October, my initial plan was to look for TEFL work in Europe starting in January.Obviously that didn't happen.
Even knowing a rough finishing date in May doesn't really help, as I have no idea how I will be feeling, or even if the treatment will have worked, which makes life awkward from a getting a job point of view, or even for my top priority- taking a holiday!!
The best I can do is make the most of my free time, I've been reading like crazy, and have managed to get some writing done, haven't seen friends much though, as I'm always too knackered to go out! Thank God for TV!
One positive though, I still have nouse of my left arm or hand, but am getting more flexibility, can now put my hair up without asking my mother!
