3 down 15 to go - Feeling ok so far.

Tuesday was my third treatment, the last of the first of six cycles, and I am amazed that I am not vomiting, not stuck in bed, etc. I will say the worst part if the disrupted sleep from the steroids, the constipation, and making sure I don't let my stomach get on empty because then I will get nausea. But knowing now that I have almost two weeks of no treatment is a gift, to get things done, to clean out my digestive system and get a little more normal, to get a little more organized, and see a few people for lunches and coffees, things I don't do when I'm working. The next round with both the carboplatinum and taxol is the worst week of the cycle, so we'll see how I feel, as the last one wasn't too bad, but I was exhausted. Maybe it was related more to still recuperating from the original surgery and then the surgery for the port, but we shall see.
