I am at day 5 of my second round of chemo,which is a ..Its not too bad actually,and I have found the things that have helped me the most so far,are drinking water(lots), eating well,resting EVERY TIME you feel like it,and walking every day(my oncologist told me that you can't underestimate the importance of this).The most noticeable side effects for me are slight nausea,tiredness,which is def more this time,and very unusual food cravings There is so much that I can't eat,but the next day I suddenly feel like it!!And a yuk taste in my mouth all the time. I have liked using Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste.The worse days for me are day 5 to,7,and because of the risk of infection from days 9to 14, I have stayed away from shops ,schools public transport etc,on those days.For me it's not worth taking the risk.Like Deanne says,everyone is different,and I just think you need to use common sense.I might just say also,on the days when I am really tired,I have no interest in going out.It is not tired like you have known before!xoxoxRobyn
