I can feel the medications took effect almost immediately. The mouth begins to lose its taste buds and dries up and even water is difficult to swallow as the metallic taste is so strong.No food for the last 24hrs only apple juice and plain water.Sleep has been difficult. Not working today as the first week of chemo is best not to be in an enclosed air condition environment as the immune system takes a nosedive and if contact flu or viral infections could be fatal for a chemo patient. Outdoors are all right so will try to work at the races this weekend at penang.Well the good and positive side is that CHEMO is over and the tunnel gets nearer to the other side.The journey to recovery is nearer by the day,and radiation as told to me by my doctor is a breeze compared to chemo insyaallah. Family and Friends we are nearly at the finishing line ,keep the prayers and encouragements coming to give me the added strength.GOD BLESS.
