Wow Elayne,you have done really well with your first chemo. Yes,you have those few days where you feel like roadkill.I just hid under the doona,cried and felt very sorry for myself.The only things I could eat/drink were lemonade iceblocks,lemon cordial and vegie soup with crackers. The next hurdle to come will be losing your hair.Your scalp will become very sensitive and sore as hair starts to drop out. www.headcovers.org is a good place to shop for head scarves,caps and wigs if you haven't done so already.Some women embrace being bald-I did not. I hated it but got savvy after awhile with headgear. I hope your next round of chemo goes easy on you.Take care and get lots of rest.
