Chemo gets unpleasant

This is from the Saturday after my first treatment. I get my treatments on Thursday afternoons, and Saturday is definitely my worst day.

Definitely not feeling as well today. The nausea pills are still pretty much working, though I did have to throw in one of the "as needed" on top of the Emend. I feel slightly achy and really tender, especially around the neck and jaw. It's not unlike the tenderness I've experienced with having a hangover, though fortunately without the headache that usually accompanies that.

I feel a little self-absorbed posting all this online, but I mainly just want to have a record that's easy for me to get to - this is all so new, and I'm feeling my way through it as it goes, but I want to be able to remember and compare and look for patterns as I go along.
