Had Chemo and first Rad on Monday. Guts feel bloated and sore. Losing ability to taste. No real bad nausea yet.
Sort of feels like I have the flu.
Next week should be even worse from what I have read,
with white and red blood cell counts dropping due to the Cisplatin.
My wife has been very helpful since I feel that I am in a bit of a sleep-walking-state.
Hoping for a bit of relief by the weekend from the initial effects of the chemo.
Take care all,
Steve
