Second AC, don’t know if I can hack this

I agree that AC was awful. The word that came to mind was "YUCK". It described everything I was feeling. I found the first 10 days after AC all I could do was sleep, lie down, have a little wander in my garden, lie down, lie down out in the garden under the trees, so they could absorb all of my yuckiness. Then around day 10 my digestive system would start working again, and I would feel brighter and a little appetite came back. Prior to my chemo I would take Coloxyl to keep my digestive system moving and keep on top of all anti nausea meds for the week. If I didn't I had those vomiting days. Then I would have a good week before it all happened again. But I knew that good week would come and that's what kept me going.
Some are fortunate with chemo and less side effects and others get everything. No matter what you are feeling and how chemo reacts with your body be kind to yourself. Everyone reacts differently. Find those little joyful moments to keep you going.
