Fatigue....Nausea....and Hair Thinning.....



Me I’ve had some pain in my left side and some rectal bleeding on and off so I have an apt. with the Gastroenterologist doctor on Monday. I also feel like I’m really swollen retaining water in my feet and legs. So I’m trying to be up and moving more and drinking more water. This is the most I’ve ever weighed in my whole life, argh! I see the Chemo doctor again this week so that means I’m starting my 3rd round/7th week. I seem to be getting tired more easily. If I can go lay down for a bit then I’m good again for a while. The nausea seems to hit the 2nd day and into the 3rd on a one med week, then I seem to do ok. I hate being nauseated though… I haven’t lost my hair yet but it’s still thinning. The texture of my hair is changing, it feels coarser. If I’m not sick I’m usually studying trying to make sure I absorb everything for the test next week. I feel like I have to pause or reflect a little bit more on things like; when I write or read. I guess the chemo fog is starting to set in. It’s a good thing I’m writing in my blog so I can actually remember things.
