Post chemo #7

haha, I should give myself a few days for the side effects of all the drugs to even out before posting happy things. 

I get anti-nausea meds and steroids as part of the pre-meds prior to the chemo drugs.  The pre-meds usually squash the chemo side effects (nausea, no appetite) until about 3 days after chemo.  After that, I feel super fatigued and mild nausea.  I am trying out a new anti-nausea patch (sancuso) this time around since my nausea after chemo #6 lasted about 5 days afterwards.  But of course, this patch has side effects.  The most noticeable one is a persistent headache.. that I then take ibuprofen for.  It's one big side effect management game!
