Day 3: Nausea is lighter than I anticipated. The killer is my total lack of energy! I found myself with the highest energy around 10/11am, and felt myself crashing fast by 3pm. At that point I snoozed until my husband came home around 6:30. We repeated our very basic dinner from the night before: plain chicken breast and half a baked potato. Actually quite delicious and probably just what my tired self needed.
Day 4: Today I went for a quick walk which helped my energy level a bit. Still very little nausea, but I'm feeling more like I'm in a fog (chemo brain?) and I'm needing extra rest. My in-laws continue to rock watching baby Alison while I get some extra sleep.
Day 5: Same deal today... minor nausea, totally no energy. I forgot to mention, Day 2 I went to the infusion room for a follow up shot of Nulasta, which will help my body create more white blood cells. Apparently this can cause bone pain since WBCs are made from your bone marrow. So it's likely I'll be feeling that some time in the next few days. When I went for my shot, my father-in-law joined me, so I showed him around the Cancer Center. It's a really nice place and I've had a great experience there so far!
