My experience after my third chemo has been similar to the first two. I do have to admit that I was a bit more tired for a few more days after the treatment, but nothing too extreme. I really had to be careful what I ate or I'd be stuck at home (near the bathroom) and that was not fun!
I'm ashamed to admit that I began to worry a few days ago about the possibility that I wouldn't be allowed to have my last chemo on schedule, which would totally mess up being able to attend my nephews wedding in Detroit on July 12th. So I remembered a hint that I picked up from a former chemo patient, she told me she was delayed one time from having her treatment and her private nurse took her home and "stuffed" her with crab legs and strawberries, she was able to have her chemo the next day!
Well, it was a big sacrifice on my part to "have" to eat crab legs and strawberries since they are only my third and fourth favorite foods (shrimp and chocolate being first and second, not sure in which order!) But, I forced myself to eat almost a pound of each on Saturday. I may even repeat this ritual on Monday for good measure.
All in all it's been a pretty good week with my energy rising each day to the point that I was able to keep up my hours at work and clean my house on Saturday before I had my medicinal feast!
