I had my second Chemotherapy injections yesterday. Everything went fine. My nurse is very good and it is a relaxed, yet time-consuming process. Marika and I were at the hospital at 09:30, and didn’t leave until 14:00. There was a delay with the chemists in creation of my drugs for the day, but it wasn’t that bad.
I went to the hospital the day previous to have a blood test, this is necessary to determine if my blood counts have recovered and if my body is ready for another round of Chemo. All was fine in my case.
Today i’m feeling okay. No nausea. I do feel a bit of a tightness in my chest, which is the same feeling I felt the first two days after I had my first Chemotherapy session. I am not sure if it is related to the Chemotherapy drugs themselves, or one of the anti-nausea drugs (a steroid based drug: Dexmethasone). Anyway, this feeling went away after 2 days last time so i’m not too concerned.
I’m taking it easy, if it’s anything like my first Chemo session (which I have been told it will be) then my feeling of fatigue will start to kick in soon.
