@belle4 I love that PacMan metaphor/imagery. All my good wishes to you as you start your chemotherapy treatments this week.

Will you please come back and let me know how it goes and so that I and others can continue to support you?

@belle4 👋
I recall when I began chemo in March not knowing what to expect. I had 6 cycles, 21 days apart, and the first 2 were quite fine. I found days 3 and 4 after a treatment the most challenging. Get some anti nausea pills and take them every 6 hours to prevent vomiting and dehydration. They work. I stayed away from crowds and was fortunate that spring and summer meant I could enjoy my backyard. I had to have 3 blood transfusions b/c I became quite weak after treatments 4 and 5, but that was okay. I had a month of recovery after I was done chemo, now I am driving 4 hours each day receiving radiation. I am done 5 of 25 planned sessions. It's going well so far, but I'm likely to have side effects after this week. That's okay. I wish you all the best going forward. Listen to your body and take the rest it needs. We can handle a lot if we take 1 day at a time and stay positive. Let us all here know how you are doing, and reach out for help if you need it!!
