Maybe a little encouragement here.
I just finished my third round.
After reading others posts, i took away a few key points.
Hydration if you can. Drink water! Also, get fluids after treatment, I now get a bag of iv when they remove my meds from my port.
Also dtay on top of nausea meds.
Listen to your body!!
Hope it helps!
Yes get extra fluids! I was feeling so lethargic and had head rushes. Then I saw my blood and my sodium was scary low! Went in got sodium and fluids and felt like a brand new person and had energy!
Because of the cold sensitivity, I have found it very difficult to stay hydrated. I am 6 treatments in and drink a lot of broths and soups now. It is making a world of difference!
I just completed my 1st round also. I’m starting Day 4. I am feeling very rough, kind of like having the flu. I am usually up at 5, getting ready for work, but now wake up at 6 or 7, and takes quite a while before I feel like I’m actually awake and able to function. I will be working through this, no choice, and worked during my initial infusion. I also wear a pump for 46 hours after the initial infusion (worst part). I knew I would have bad days, but so far no good days. I can cross one off the calendar, though, and that’s a good thing!
The post shared by the gentleman who talked hydration nailed it.
Im taking the fluid after my pump is done and again a day later.
Helps! Also trying to find a beverage that helped was using a pack of infuse drink mix in water.
Hang in there, this group is awesome 👌

I also find softer foods more palatable. Peanut butter has been my friend!
Hang in there✌️
