I have been asked what chemotherapy is like. My understanding is that the range and severity of side effects tend to differ for each person, but for me, it is like getting the flu every two weeks - generally feel like crap, taste and appetite are diminished, stomach can be in turmoil, I'm tired and requires naps, and at the worst of it, I'm in a bit of a mental fog. Apparently the side effects to be much less if I were old, a smoker, or a heavy drinker - but that isn't me.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the last day of the second chemo cycle, and I'm feeling really quite good and hoping to get in another bike ride. The 3rd cycle starts on Wednesday with another 3 cycles to go before the liver surgery.
Lots of people praying for you as you make your way through the third round. TNC
