48 hours since the first chemo cycle and I'm still feeling okay. I can't thank the Lord enough for blessing me with the kind of strength other chemo patients can only hope to have. I did have a slower day today though, mostly due to the fact that I felt sleepy most of the time. Fatigue is a common chemotherapy side effect, but I didn't feel tired. Just lazy and sleepy. Oh, plus I was slightly gassy (TMI, sorry) but not to the point of being uncomfortable and irritable. In fact, I could care less about the gas, I slept so soundly after downing a hot huge bowl of Vietnamese Pho!
I texted my Onco to ask about the gas and she says no, this is not a side effect. HAHAHA. Oh my! I wonder where this came from then?? Did I sleep with my mouth open last night? :)))
N and Sabine went to the grocery for me this afternoon and bought me veggies and fruits. So this is what I had for merienda
I admit, I'm not a fruit person just like my Dad. I'm only crazy about mangoes. I can eat lanzones, tons of them in one sitting. But I'd rather have orange juice than the actual fruit. But I figured, since I'm in the middle of a lifestyle change, I might as well try doing all sorts of things that are new to me. So instead of using my juicer (thank you, Pao --- I love you!), I decided to munch on the fruit instead.
This rainy weather is making me sleepy! I hope everyone's safe and dry at home. I'm just waiting for Anissa to get home from school and training and I'm fine ... the long weekend can begin after that!
