Round 4 of chemo has been mostly the same as the previous 3. I've felt similar the few days afterwards, but, mentally, it's been better. I've been able to focus on the fact that, hopefully, I won't have to go through these post-chemo days again. The Sunday and Monday afterwards are the hardest and I'm through with them! And each day is one day closer to the end of this.
One other thing that's really helped me is that on Friday, I shipped those cold caps back to the company! I love them for helping me keep my hair but I couldn't stand to look at them any longer!
I've struggled with stomach problems throughout... not nausea; just an irritated, angry stomach. It comes and goes, but it's one of the toughest parts for me. I'm thankful there hasn't been much nausea... I know some people really struggle. I'm still having the stomach problems but hopefully it will get better. One thing it does do is keep me from wanting to drink alcohol. I thought I might want a drink or two after chemo was all done, but I have absolutely NO desire whatsoever. My liver is probably thanking me though. It is still recovering.
I know there are still a lot of steps left in my treatment plan but I feel one step closer each day!
