So today is day 2 on chemo via the pump I've been toting around since yesterday. I had the best intentions of working today. I got a late start partially due to being awake during the night last night and partially due to trying to shower and not get the "electronic pump" wet. I could have use more tubing during that episode but I managed.
I got to work and managed to keep up with it for an astounding 5 hours. Of course the Fatigue set in once again so I headed home for some shuteye.
My other big problem is my appetite has almost disappeared. I have been told by many people Calories help chemo so I'm trying to keep the food intake as high as I can. I might have to result to cereal often during the day.
What a life!!!!

I was always told to take a sleeping pill the night of chemo, because if they gave you Decadron (a steroid) before the chemo drug, it keeps you up all night. Ambien is my drug of choice for sleeping. Maybe something to ask your doc.
