Second chemo treatment: Accomplished!

I had my second chemo treatment today. Apparently all of my bloodwork has looked great, levels are where they need to be, and based on the questions they ask (about side effects I did not experience like bone pain, mouth sores, changes in the way foods taste, sleep disruption, etc), I seem to be doing pretty well so far!

They switched the long-lasting anti-nausea medication to something that I did not have an allergic reaction to (success!), and start to finish, I think I was only there for a little over 3 hours. Last time it was closer to 5, so that's pretty neat! 

My doctors and nurses are all fantastic, I sit in a comfortable chair that has a heater and a massage function and I had a pudding cup (vanilla) and a generic gelatin snack cup (strawberry), and even tried the coffee (it was ok, not amazing, but not bad!). 

I'm a little tired now, so I'm probably going to rest for a couple of hours. I did not walk to my partner's house from the hospital this time -- so many people yelled at me for that last time! Today it was 100 degrees out, so I didn't think it would be the best choice for me. I will admit this very grudgingly. 

So that's it! I'll continue to update with how I'm feeling after this treatment. The first treatment went really smoothly, even with the little hiccup of being allergic to some medication. So far it's been some very manageable nausea, a little headache while getting one of the medications (that went away after about 20 minutes), some fatigue (which has been better since I started being more active but that might have also coincided with timing. I don't have enough data to confidently say that it's definitely because of my bike rides, but maybe!) and that's it. No changes to how things taste, no changes to appetite, I don't sleep super well but that's mostly the fault of the cats (I do sleep well enough and I'm keeping normal hours so I haven't gotten out of cycle on that SPECIFIC FRIEND WHO THINKS ABOUT THESE THINGS). It's good!
