The new round of cocktails has begun. Version 2.0 is quite lovely compared to the first mix! I went in about 10am and left about 3pm. I have to admit that I did feel nauseous while I was there, but I think it was just anxiety about what was to come. (Have I mentioned that I've watched 3 people get carried out on stretchers while I've been there for chemo? It's quite unsettling and has made my anxiety increase over time. But don't worry, there's a drug for that, too!) They loaded me with enough drugs to knock me out, and following treatment I went right home and slept it off. The great news is that I didn't feel many side effects at all so I am thrilled about that.
Now, the cumulative side effects are really getting old, and I am so bored with all the physical stuff. I try not to think about them too much because no one issue is really a big deal, but focusing on your body all the time is just tedious and dull. Amazingly enough, as wacky as the side effects can be, the fact that there is something new every day has become very predictable....a lovely purple hue under my fingernails, eyelashes falling out, uncomfortably dry eyes...blah blah blah. I wouldn't wish this on anyone 'cause it sure ain't fun, but can someone please tell Angelina that mastectomies are the EASY part? Looking forward to my second!
