5 Chemo treatments down!!!

Well I had my 5th chemo treatment on Tues 6/16/09. And of course I didn't want to go, but the good news is, they changed my chemo drug. The new chemo drug is called Taxol. So with this drug I should have less nausea (Thank God). But what the doctor told me was that I would have body aches kinda like the flu that would last 3 to 4 days. The day of Chemo everything was fine, I felt fine, looked fine I was good. Day 2 same thing felt fine, looked fine, I was loving this new chemo drug. But by the evening of day 2 OMG! the aches started, and man oh man was I in pain. I mean everything hurt, my arms, my legs, my head, my but, my feet you get the pic right. The doctor told me tylenol would help or she could prescribe me Tylenol 3, so for the last 4 days including today, I have been doped up on tylenol, but had I known it would feel like this, I would have gotten the Tylenol 3. And on top of that I've been constipated ( is that TMI?) oh well we're sharing right?

Now today is Saturday, and usually I'm all good by Saturday, but my body still aches not as bad as yesterday, but bad enough to pop tylenol. and I have the headache I can't shake. So I am gonna try and get these aches and pains under control so I can take my daughter swimming, since it's suppose to be 86 degrees today.


It's hard being sick when you have a child.
