Rough Week

Well, the nausea and the pain started to kick in this week as expected. I went in yesterday for a follow up with the oncologist, who decided to keep me and put me on IV anti-nausea meds and some fluids. Fortunately, this meant I was able to work a full day today. The nausea is moderate, so its tolerable and manageable with medication. The pain is manageable as well. I'm just glad I have a doctor who listens to me and treats the whole me and not just the cancer. His whole staff is great, and they really make me feel glad they are the ones with me on this journey. I am exhausted, though, and am looking forward to getting some much needed rest this weekend!! On the bright side, the nurse said the second week after treatment is usually a little easier than the first so hopefully the week to come will be better than the week we're coming out of.
