    Horray!
    The first chemo brings a lot of anxiety with it because you don't know what to expect, in spite of what everyone tells you. So many what ifs. When all the treatments are behind you, you will be so proud of yourself. I told myself that millions of people have had chemo before me and that I could do it. I did - and was pleased to learn how doable it was.

    Best wishes -
    Suzanne

    Hooray for getting that
    Hooray for getting that first chemo behind you! Hoping you can get some rest!

    Optomistic is good!!
    Yes !!! no nausea for me either thanks to Zofran and I am still taking Prilosec, Senekot S and rinsing my mouth. Today my tongue feels really funny and I am achy but not enough to stay in bed--so far the aches are less than when you have the flu.
    Good luck to all on the chemo adventure.

    Hello PinkPearl
    It's great
    Hello PinkPearl
    It's great to hear that yours went well - that you got through it...
    I agree, this board is sooo great and full of info.
    The info here was exactly what I needed, to make it through (after all of my anxiety ;-)).

    You've reminded me to pull up my original thread and give updates.

    Best of Health to you and others on this chemo / other treatments journey.
    Bless you.

    I'm glad it's not hitting you hard. It was tolerable for me, days 3-5 after were the worst. Then by day 7 I was on the upswing. I hated losing my taste of food and the metal taste. I was on tax. and cytoxin. for 6 rounds. Hope it stays easy for you.

    so far, so good!
    Maybe I'm too optimistic, but after my first CMF treatment yesterday, I feel pretty good. No nausea (thanks to Emend), but just a bit dizzy. Took prilosec last night plus metamucil. Will continue the priosec and metamucil today. Glad you're doing well too. I had AC 10 years ago and remember being very nauseous the first week after treatment. So glad to find this site so we can all support each other!

    Glad you are doing well too

    I'm glad to know that it went well for you. I'm always keyed up for the first couple of days too, but that third day I sleep a lot. Make sure you are drinking LOTS of water. I made the mistake during my last chemo of not drinking water and I paid for it dearly. Stay strong and enjoy those naps :)

    I am so happy that your chemo went so well for you. I didn't have chemo, so, I don't know exactly how hard and anxious you must have been, but, I certainly will pray that it will continue to go easily for you.

    Wonderful info on what to be
    Wonderful info on what to be prepared for, I am having my 2nd chemo today and they will be backing off on the steriods because they feel it made my blood pressure go too high during infusion. I hope that does not bring on additional problems, as I'm not quite sure what the steriods actually do.

    Very happy for you!
