Day 34 – How is it going?

Four days into the chemo, I am now starting to rattle!! I have four chemo pills, four anti nausea and two additional anti nausea pills in the morning and then four chemo, and two anti nausea pills in the evening. This has been for the last four days. Well the good news is that they all seem to be working, no nausea and very few side effects to date.

I was forewarned that I could be violently sick, I could have mouth ulcers, I could lose my ability to taste or at least have a metallic taste in my mouth. So far none of these have materialised and the only side effect that I have had is a tingling in my fingers when they get cold. This has manifested itself when I am out walking the dogs and when I wash my hands in cold water. I also have to take anything out of the fridge wearing a pair of gloves. Fortunately this type of chemo means there is only a small chance of me loosing my hair …..???!!!!!
