Well, the calm before the storm did not last very long. Faced with my first bout of vomit this past weekend, constant nausea, and persistent pain throughout my legs, bones, and ankles, I can say I'm finally feeling much better. Fun! Although it is difficult to sleep through the night with all the side effects, constant drinking of water to flush my system of the chemo drugs, and then getting up all through the night to use the restroom, it is at least very encouraging that the lymph glands on the right side of my neck are already noticeably smaller, the headaches and neck pain have disappeared, and I can turn my neck without discomfort, which I could not do just a week ago.
Tomorrow, I get my 5-FU pump removed so I can at least sleep on a side of my body other than my back.
My feeding tube consultation is scheduled for this afternoon so hopefully I'll find out when they will schedule surgery to have the tube installed.
