So being that yesterday offered me my first 24 hours of oral chemo, it’s good to know that, thus far, side effects are tolerable. As the day progressed, I was tired and snoozed, off and on. My head felt achy, and a mild sense of flu symptoms pervaded my body. Even a hint of nausea added into the mix was not enough to make me cancel our plans to enjoy a family dinner on yet another restaurant patio.
Then, last night, feeling no lump of emotional resistance causing interference, my meds slid down my throat as smoothly as if my fear of side effects will continue to diminish, day by day, suggesting that with reason for a positively focused attitude to lead the way, I hope to concentrate my hopes on this protocol of oral chemo attacking tumor cells relentlessly without destroying too many of my body’s healthy cells.
As to the good news—to my way of thinking, today’s post is all good news! And thankfully, the mixing bowl that Will placed at my bedside remains empty!
