Not too bad

I remember having some serious fear of how I would feel at this point. I had heard bad things about chemo 5 and 6 and was dreading it.  I mean I have basically felt crappy for 4  months and the thought of feeling crappier was pretty scary.  Which is why I was trying to find ways to prevent that by researching every single thing I could on detox for chemo. So all in all - not too bad today. The steroids have worn off (we now know the exact moment this happens because my voice gets a little weirder - higher and softer.

Sleep like the dead

Nausea got a little intense so I had them give me the adivan and was able to eat lunch and dinner and then slept like the dead through the intense storms last night.

On to the rest of the day.
