3rd chemo treatment over!

It was fine! As always, I felt very drained and bad after treatment. About halfway through the second chemo medication, I feel like a sedative is kicking in, and everything is very heavy. I'm slightly sensitive to it so by the end, my nose is burning a little, but it's not too bad if they do it over an hour. Last time, they did it over half an hour and I got a pretty bad headache, so lesson learned. Afterwards, I went over to Ben's and slept for about 4 hours. The "not doing anything after chemo but resting" is so, so necessary. It's just not a day where a lot is going to be accomplished, aside from receiving chemo. 

All it all it took about three and a half hours. All my bloodwork was good, everyone is happy with how well I seem to be doing. One more AC treatment and then I move onto T. There will be 12 of those, and they will happen every week. The big concern there will be neuropathy, so I'm strategizing ice packs for my hands and feet. 

My weight has remained very stable, which is surprising given that half the time I don't know if I'm hungry or not, so there's a lot of just eating on a schedule and hoping for the best. I have been very lucky in that my sense of taste has not yet been affected. Chemo is so strange because it's so different from person to person that you really can't plan for anything. You just do it and see how YOU do with it. As I say, I have been very lucky. 

Today (day after chemo), I woke up feeling pretty normal. Not even too tired in the morning, but in the afternoon I got a shot to help my white blood cell count, and after that, I get a little tired. But not too bad! It's all not too bad. 

I continue to do well. I continue to go through the process, and accomplish my little tasks. No complaints.
