End of first week after chemo

OK... so I was being told I was going to feel like #$%^@ but until you are there it just isn't a reality. Day 6 and I am coming out of the druggy fog... I think.... First few days I felt fuzzy/thick-headed (what's new, I hear some say) and slightly queasy but doable. By Day 3 I felt I had a full on hangover without the party beforehand! Mind you there was no throwing up or real headache... so not as bad as a hangover really except it did last for several days. The drugs I was given to take at home were all anit-nausea and then some more! Then drugs to take for the side affects of the anit-nausea drugs... The queasiness and some indigestion were the main issues. I have also felt I needed to lie down every couple of hours and sometimes have slept like a log for maybe an hour. Night times have not always been sleep times but some drugs helped with that too. Sooo many drugs to counteract other drugs...
