I've been paying much closer attention to my body now that Kellie, Lia and Chasidy are handling the household. I find that with less on my plate at home, I notice more about myself. It makes a huge difference when my little guys and house and animals are being tended to! Their help is priceless to me!
I had Herceptin treatment on Tuesday morning. I feel fine the same day, though I did notice I got splotches on my skin on my chest, neck and face. It also acts as a laxative on day 1 of each treatment cycle (fun).
Day 2, yesterday, was a bit more difficult. I felt very overheated all day- literally hot to the touch like a fever but not a fever... I started having those damn woosey fainting spell feelings and had no desire for coffee. By the afternoon I had to get a coke to give my body a jolt. As bad as sodas are for the body, it seems to work... I also tried to drink as much water as possible to hydrate better. I've noticed the heavy head and faint feelings are worse if I haven't been drinking enough water. My appetite began decreasing and by dinnertime I felt a bit sick... slightly nauseous, weak, shaky, with a headache... but I made it through.
Day 3 is today. I have no appetite this morning and even coffee is hard to get down. I have splotches on my face, a bit if dizziness, and hiccups... lol! But overall it's okay and manageable. Could be a lot worse! Let's see how it goes today :)
Transfer surgery is scheduled for Feb 7. Yay!!
