Erikj,
You are almost home free dude. You wont feel any worse. But remember, if you dehydrate you will. Drink water, drink water, drink water. As much as you can stand. Also try to neck down an Ensure or two every day. I lived on hydration iv's (up to 3 bags a day), Ensure (2-4 a day), oatmeal (1 bowl a day), and chicken soup (1 bowl a day) for two months. I never got sick but sure felt like it a lot. It's the Chemo man. Its rough shit.
As I said before its almost over. Mentally you will feel better as soon as it's over, give it about 3 weeks physically. At least thats what I went through.
Fight Fight Fight.
