I've discovered I'm one of the lucky ones when it comes to nausea. I get some indigestion, but that's about it. I'm not hungry (which is extremely unusual for me - I have never met a meal I couldn't eat), but I'm making myself eat. I've been living on broccoli cheddar soup - Panera, Safeway and homemade - doesn't matter - I want it all. And that's about the only thing I truly want.
I did make the mistake of adding spice to some red beans and rice. I'm the gal who can eat HOT! I impressed a bunch of people in India when I ate a serrano pepper raw to stop them from making my food mild. I figured a wee bit of Frank's would be nothing. Ha!! Yeah, that did not work. Oh well, live and learn. :)
I'm still doing well energy-wise. But chemo is cumulative, so I'll see how I feel after a few rounds. Plus I'm switching meds after 4 rounds, so I may react to that one 100% differently. Again, we'll see. But for now, I'm okay. I still have my hair, but I'm told that I'll lose that around the time of my second dose. Fun times. I'm a bit vain about my hair, and thought about cold cap therapy, but I think I'd be more stressed about that then just losing the damned stuff and being done with it. I have lots of hats sent by so many wonderful friends!
