First chemo!
Hi everyone! I had my first chemo session today, starting with AC. Though I was warned and given a strong anti-nausea tablet before they started, I was absolutely not prepared for the crippling na...
I had my first AC Chemo last Thursday morning. By 5.30 pm nausea like constant morning sickness, headache, light sensitivity, just horrid. By Friday barely moved, all day, nothing g to eat, could barely drink which terrified me as I know you need to. Sat am the same, off to acupuncture, advised to have ginger slice in warm water(remove ginger after 20seconds) make rice porridge with broth stock. - could only manage 3 teaspoons Through 2days. Then tried hydralite. Symptoms of nausea only stopped with ondansatron wafer. Eventually managed a single poached egg. 1 slice of marmalade toast. Plain Greek acidophilus yogurt.
Yesterday I wasn’t nauseous on waking and didn’t take meds. my appetite came back and I had HOT CHIPS for lunch… boy was I delighted and shocked with glee ! Last night I had salmon and the remaining chips from lunch. I’ve just managed 1.5km on my pitiful exercise bike… oh I was wobbly after it (as living in the bush walking is tricky)
Drinking now, … warm water with ginger, squeeze lemon juice, good dollop of hydralite. Goes down easily.
we just have to hang in there to get well.
love the uplifting comments gang xxx thankyou
