I read a thing a while back that said about ten days after chemo, you'd feel a little bit like you had a flu. They have made it very clear to me that if I get any sort of fever, I need to go directly to the hospital, so I was curious about this description. How can you feel flu-y without having a fever? Well, the mystery has been solved. I personally feel overly hot and sweaty and a little gross, but my temperature is totally normal. (I don't even feel that bad, I'm just VERY sweaty.) It's wild! I'm happy to not be running a fever, and I guess it's good practice for the future. My medical oncologist also mentioned that chemo can kick some people into menopause, so that could also be happening! Bodies are an eternal mystery.
No nausea this morning, which was great. I am getting better about making sure I eat before I go to bed (empty stomach seems to be a big problem for me when it comes to feeling less good). They even suggested keeping snacks by the bed, which...I am a person who only eats food in designated areas of the house, so I can't even consider this as a solution yet. We'll see if things get harder!
I'll probably go for a little walk later, but I'm having a nice, quiet morning.
