Today is my “easy” day of chemo which means that I get just one drug instead of three. That also means fewer side effects this week, although since the side effects are cumulative, I do tend to be pretty fatigued, even with the “easy” weeks lately. I have noticed, though, that I don’t have nearly the nausea that I have during the other weeks.
The easy day typically takes only 1/2 hour for the chemo, and with no other doctor’s appointments or anything, I’m planning to go into work for the rest of the day. There’s a student worker party, for one thing, and I’ve got a ton of sick leave that I’ve added up for another thing. In fact, I have to call HR and talk to them about my sick leave.
I’m not feeling quite as scared as I was yesterday, but of course that’s for right now. I expect it will come and go until I find out, and then it depends on the results. *sigh*
This stuff sure isn’t easy to go through. It just isn’t.
