Today I had my first chemotherapy treatment. It went pretty well. I had no discomfort. The needle went in smoothly (hopefully, that means I won't need a port); there was no nausea or other effects I felt. I am tired, but that may just be the stress of the day.
The real test of how I manage will be over the course of the rest of this week. The fatigue and potential nausea supposedly kick in around Wednesday and may last as little as a day or as long as a week. The drugs they gave me today included a couple to prevent nausea and boost energy. I also will be taking pills over the next three days to do the same.
I will post at least once more this week to let everyone know how I'm coping with the side effects.
