4th day


It seems that even with this new AC chemotherapy, my side-effects follow a similar pattern as before: really sick and fatigued the day of chemo Thursday evening, fine next day Friday, and completely out of it during the weekend. 

I had a few hours out of bed during the weekend: a half hour walk on Saturday, and a back yard bbq with friends on Sunday; but mostly super fatigued, nauseated.

Interesting discovery: crackers, watermelon and salmon soup seemed to do the trick for me, who would have thought of this combination ?
