Hey First Timers - 


How have the side effects been? I have had some weird miagraine type flashing in my eyes and headache - as well as the slight nausea. I made it through work today. They greeted me with a garbage can full of chemo gags - eye brow pencil, false eyelashes, a long blond fake wig, hand sanitizer, etc. They were fun. I've also had a little leg weakness . . .any one else have that kind of thing after round # 1?


Let me know how you are doing!


Lori

I too made it through work
			
today.  I think I surprised everyone, including myself.  Slight headache and some nausea if I don't eat every couple hours, just something little like a couple crackers and a baby bel cheese.  But all in all a decent day.  The gag gifts sound fun!  Have a good Veteran's Day holiday and rest.  Lola

Lori, what is your chemo
			
Lori, what is your chemo cocktail?  If you're taking Taxotere/Taxol one of the side effects is bone pain.  Also, the Nuelasta shot the next day is notorious for this.  I took Tylenol every 4-6 hours and the pain was tolerable.  Best of luck and keep us updated.  I liked the idea of all the chemo gags, very clever of them and also lifted your spirits, I'm sure.
