So today is the 3rd day after my chemo..
I am having a good sleep last night.. slept very early around 9.30pm. Body temperature rise a little to 37degree but back to normal soon after that. I am very fast blushing too.. cheeks turn very very pinkish sometimes.
This morning woke up so early at 5am.. I am hungry!! Jeez.. I am often hungry.. ;-p
Have a cup of Nestum and go for a sleep again. My sis woke me up around 7am for another break but I don't feel like eating so she clear it. I woke up from bed around 7.30am and start feeling sleepy.. very sleepy.. when I layan my sleepiness I become more sleepy and lazy.. so I force my self t wake up and did my routine arm exercise and start doing my own laundry..
I been attacking by nausea this time.. this time very strong feeling than previous days.. but still not vommiting. I make sure my stomach was filled with something.. biscuits.. or drinks.. but it still kept coming back until I have my lunch (ate rice with soupy sauté bitter goat and after half an hour ate a little bit of bake Salmon) went to bed after took my med and I am feeling a little bit okay now.
I guess I have to make sure I have food in my stomach to avoid from nausea.. yaiks I hope I don't grow fat.. ;-p
Once Chemo meds flows in the body.. it will slowly killed all the fast growth cells in human body.. like hair and nail cells.. and red blood cell will dropped to the lowest count on the 9th-10th days according to my doctor and that is the most crucial day for patient where will easily infected. And on the same day.. I will need to go to hospital to go for a blood count check to make sure I am able and ready for the next chemo session on the 3rd week from my 1st chemo.
I need to nourish my body with healthy food to make sure my body strengthen again to go for the next chemo.. that is why during treatment there is NO pantang on food. Just make sure food are well cooked. Before the 3rd week.. body will feel like normal as been experienced by my friends who went thru all the treatment recently.. so I hope my body will be the same.. :)
Signing off for now.. and continue again on the evening to update my journal..
(Signing in at 9.46pm)
Ok.. I guess today is not really a great day.. tiring day for me.. try to fight but seems like I am still a little bit weak.. I think it's time to bed now.. sleepy sleepy..
Good nite..

'hugs'....
cath, im just wondering...for every cycle, how many times are you going to be on chemo med? is it daily or any interval in days?
Like mine last time, every cycle i had to go for 5 times chemo and 5 times injecting the anti-chemo med (so the good cells wont be damaged further)on alternate...then i will have 7 days rest in between cycle. I will have check ups to see if the threatening cells have gone down or not before proceed to next cycle.
chegu.. I will be on the AC med for 4x (alternate every 3 wks) this will be the strongest one.. described by the nurse.
next continue the Taxol meds, mcm drip saja.. for 16x.. every week..
I hope my 'FISH test' on the cancer cell sample showing negative.. so that I dont have to continue another 1 year chemo, the most expensive chemo.. :(
