I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the advice on side effects. As some of you know I had to go to ER for cramping....they had no idea what it was. I was able to self diagnose after reading your comments, took stool softener and drank warm prune juice and had no cramping today for first time in a week or so! You ladies know some good stuff...I hope to share all my knowledge with some of these newer patients so they have it easy!
Talked to my doc and they seem to agree with me on the cramping..

    Glad things ar ummmmm moving along
    Glad things ar ummmmm moving along. I am esp glad that you did not have and infection. Keep drinking lots of fluids. One of my favs during chemo was the naturally flavored sparkling water from Walmart. I am a soda freak, but I could not handle drinking soda, so this was the perfet substuite (sp). I still drink tons of it, or should that be leters. Drinking lots of fluids is one of the best ways to keep things moving naturaly.
    Glad your feeling better.

    Soda
    Moopy gave up drinking soda during chemo too, and has not started up again. I still drink some, but I've been drinking sparkling water (mostly non flavored) for 20 years. My favorites are San Pellegrino, Schweppes Club Soda, and Canada Dry Club Soda. Nice to meet someone besides me who drinks the stuff!

    No sodas for me, either...
    All colas, in particular and no matter what brand, have a metallic taste. Also - no carbonated beverages for me. (Yes, I do miss the occasional ice cold beer - especially at summertime backyard get-togethers... sigh...)

    Lots and lots of water, coffee, teas - these are my beverages of choice.

    Susan,
    you still get a metallic taste from soda this far out from chemo-wow!
    I still drink soda every once in a while when I eat pizza or get a craving for one,but don't drink them half as much as I used to..
