Much of the weekend was spent on the couch. Side effects are kicking in. Fatigue, muscle and joint pains, etc. My head is aching but I cannot take anything. Can't call in to my nurse coordinator because it is the weekend. I am sure I can take some tylenol but don't want to yet. I will persevere.
I will spare you the details regarding constipation. My tastes buds are rebelling. Many things just taste lousy and flavourless. But I need to eat and make sure I have small snacks throughout the day. Don't forget to drink lots of fluids but no booze. Liver is already working overtime without booze.
Second day on the couch. Mostly experiencing muscle ache and pain in my lower abdomen. Had headache yesterday but this doesn't seem to be an issue today. Appetite is off and every thing tastes lousy. They warned me about this..... mostly a metallic taste. Even water.
I was diagnosed with ovarian and peritoneal cancer on September 22nd, 2010. Remission was achieved in February 2011 after surgery and chemotherapy but in June 2012, the cancer reared its ugly head and my dance with NED (no evidence of disease) was over. My life now consists of living with chronic disease. It is a roller coaster ride of life of ups and downs. I am trying for mostly up! :) Feel free to add comments and thoughts.
