Post first chemo

I also had my first last Wednesday. I was good Thursday Friday I gather from the steroids. Yesterday wasn't to bad but had bad constipation. I rang up the after hours and got permission to take some mild laxative that I had from when I had breast surgery. Was able to get a bit out of me but now I have wind and nothing.  I walked this morning and we went shopping to get some pulses and fresh foods and I needed gloves, more soap, hand sanitiser just some preventive cleanliness stuff. Mouth has a couple ulcers tonight and I can certainly feel that I have something toxic in my body.  I am home till the 20th when I will head back to Adelaide for second treatment. Then fly home again two days later while still on steroids. Glad to hear it gets easier. I don't feel nauseous and haven't had to use maxalon. I'm eating brown rice vegetables soups eggs asparagus custard and yogurt and have soaked some beans and lentils for tomorrow. Trying just 5-6 small meals. It's certainly a learning curve. Happy to and would like to keep sharing experiences as it's a bit overwhelming and I'm fairly isolated in the outback. So hope you don't mind if I follow this post. I can add anything I find works and hopefully we can learn of each other. Best wishes all.
