I just finished chemo round 2. I can tell its in me - a metallic taste in my mouth, tired, tongue a little numb, etc. They said today that day 3 is the hardest. I get steroids each time - its to open up the cancer cells to feed better and then the chemo zaps them. I don't expect to sleep well tonight due to the steroids.
It only took 3 hours hooked up today - now I have the pump and am home. The pump is to kill cancer that grows (divides) at a slower rate than the cancer that they attack with the chemo dumped in me today.
All in all I am supposed to do better on round 2 because the 1st round is supposed to be the toughest. We'll see.
The nurse said cancer is killed (contained) better with chemo when the cancer is advanced and really growing fast. So good - that is my case.
Now I have to rest
