The opposite of yesterday

I woke up this morning at 3:15 with nausea like I've never experienced.  I took my meds and passed out in the living room recliner where I continue to sit.  I feel extreme fatigue.  Even my individual toes are exhausted.  Oh well.

I go back to VCU to get my 5FU (shorthand for the drug that's in it) ball removed, so I won't be tethered to that for a couple of weeks.  Did I mention how difficult it is to sleep with a needle in your chest/collarbone area? If not, my bad...it's very difficult.  When this sucker comes out at 1 today, I'm going straight home to sleep.

Hopefully I will feel better gradually as the first round of drugs wears off.  Word is it gets worse each round, but I'm hoping (me, hoping?) to be the exception to the rule. This is a very new regimen for pancreatic cancer, and seems clear that everyone reacts differently.

Short post today.  Heat, serve, and enjoy.

    Hoping that the ratio of bad days to good days stays at about 1:1 (or less)! Sleeping it off sounds about right. Hugs from Denver.
