Chemo #3 in books!

Had my third chemo treatment yesterday. Went like the others, but the nausea started creeping in when we got to the car. Usually it does not start until early evening on chemo days since they do pump me full of anti-nausea meds before they pump the chemo into me. When I got home I took a Compazine which helped some. I also an grateful for the Gin-Gins candies Kerie told me about... those also helped. I took an Ativan (this one makes me sleepy) in the evening and was in bed by 7pm and pretty sure I feel asleep right away.

Today the nausea has been pretty under control. I took my Zofran and Decadron at breakfast as scheduled and did not feel the need to take anything else until my scheduled 4pm dose of Zofran and Decadron. I usually feel the need to take a Compazine late morning/early afternoon.

I got a bunch of stuff done in the South Bay today. I went to my apartment complex and dropped off my key to the apartment manager, stopped by the Santa Clara post office to drop off my mailbox key, had lunch, went to the Infusion Center in Sunnyvale to get my shot of Neulasta, and then stopped by the Comcast to drop of my equipment. That should finish all the business I have in the South Bay  until my next Doctor appointment and Chemo after the new year.

I've been maintaining my weight which is a shocker considering I've been eating a crap ton of bread products lately. My doctors don't want me to lose weight. I'm just surprised I have not gained like 15 pounds since I've pretty much just eating what I feel like eating (the f--- it, I've got cancer diet) and not trying to eat to lose weight. Usually bread causes me to gain weight quite quickly so I am pretty surprised I have not gained any weight. I ain't complaining! The one saving grace at this time of the year is I'm not eating all the goodies people put out in the kitchen at work because I don't know who has touched it or breathed on it so I ain't gonna eat it. I can't risk getting sick.

People keep asking if I am gonna get wigs. I'm kinda digging wearing hats for now, they are way more comfy than wigs. I'm building quite a good collection of cute hats. Gotta keep my head warm!
