It was a mixed bag. Difficult for the first six to seven days because of neuropathy and nausea. My doctor increased dosage of Nurica because the tingling and ins and needles were only less in severity but relentless because they lasted throughout the 21 days of the previous cycle. Unfortunately increased dosage created a new problem of extreme fatigue. I was sleeping 16 to 18 hours a day for the first 4 days. My doctor had warned about this and had said we would reduce the dosage during the day, and maintain it at night. So we did that, and it worked.
The good thing is, since about day 9 of cycle 7, I have been able to take walks of about an hour, and can do some strength training.
At this point I'm learning to live with the good, the bad and the ugly - on the hope that come I will have no cancer left in me by this time next month. I hope I am not fooling myself.
Thanks for checking on me 🙂
