I’m lethargic and have low energy. I’m getting wiped out pretty quickly after doing much of anything. But that said, things are much better than the last round. My stomach is acting better today. I’m not having an allergic reaction. My throat doesn’t hurt. No hives. I’ll take it! I have an echocardiogram tomorrow because they want to keep tabs on my heart.
Things that have helped:
- Chewing on ice chips during the chemo infusion
- Icing hands and feet during the chemo infusion
- Taking Pepcid and Claritin
- Taking Benadryl before chemo infusion.
- Not eating late and eating small meals
- Drinking electrolytes daily and drinking lots of water
- Staying prepared with having everything on hand
- Knowing my body
- Having a good support system
- Not overdoing it! (which can be tough)
