I finished the first week of treatment and the first week of recovery, and I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
Fever almost daily, achiness, headaches, and fatigue are my new normals right now. I haven't lost any weight, but my appetite is near 0. I am forcing myself to eat.

The worst thing is that chocolate taste yucky. I'm so sad about this taste change.

So far I'm experiencing all the normal side effects, minus several others. So I'm grateful for that. Plus, I'm still able to work part-time.

Hopefully the treatments will get easier as time goes by?

Hello @nogginquest

Good to hear from you. Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear of the side effects that you've experienced, but I hope that you will benefit from the treatment after it is completed. How frequently do you have the treatments?
