Hi @colleenyoung. Chemo not as bad as I thought. Mayo Clinic does an excellent job of giving you drugs to sidestep the nausea the first 3-4 days. Dexamethasone before for immune system, meant for immune system, also gives energy and quells inflammatory pain. Before the Chemo IV, they give me Zofran/Pepcid AC for nausea. Does the trick! Little loss of appetite, but not sick per se. I get a Neulasta injection next day (on body) for WBC - causes really bad muscle/bone pain, so I’ve added Claritin on days 1-5 plus Max Tylenol every 8 hours. Really helps.

Mostly I just very tired and “prodromal” (that feeling you have when you’re “coming down with something”) if I overdo it. Naps are my new friend. I do have 3-4 days of mild GI issues, 2-3 days of nosebleeds. But there’s kind of a cadence to it, that I’ve learned to expect/manage. I’m using the Paxman cold cap to reduce hair loss... shedding a lot still though. So we’ll see. You?
