Thanks for the info!

Hi @rod54 Sorry to hear you’re also needing chemo. One of my chemo nurses used to jokingly refer to it as “joy juice”…Not even close! 😅 But here we are…reminiscent of the old science film strips I recall from grade school with the monotonous voice of the narrator saying “Better living through chemistry!” Unfortunately, while it’s knocking cancer cells from our body it can have an effect on other cells too with dry skin, mouth sores, gut issues, hair loss, nausea, low blood numbers and fatigue.
Have you been experiencing any side effects from your first round of chemo?
