    Well, it seems the treatment effects decided to hit sooner rather than later. It’ll been not even a week? C’mon.

    It blows…and I know it’ll get worse. Like I told a cousin, all I can do right now is ride it out best I can. And keep the anti-nausea meds nearby!

    unfortunately, it will get worse....until it gets better!
    Yeah, I was surprised at the quickness and utter fatigue. But you’re right, I know this. And also what GG said about the meds doing what they’re supposed to. 

    Meltdown, hell yes.

    You should listen to Country Boner. I think you’d dig it. 

    Merk, fuckin A. I quoted that to my husband just the other day. I’m sure it’ll be muttered to myself more than once in the coming months.

    Hedo, I'm not around much these days, so only just saw this thread now. My first reaction: OH NO!!! Then after reading through, I'm so glad to see how great your attitude is as you fight the fight - it's not much of a match obviously! :heart: Sending you healing and patience thoughts as you deal with the side effects of your treatment and with quitting smoking. Stay strong!

    Thank you! I’m having my second chemo session as I type :) My physical strength may take a hit but my determination is through the bloody roof. And I’m now officially more than one month tobacco-free! That alone bolsters me.

    How are you feeling after the second round? Ok, I hope.

    Thank you, eblue.

    And thanks, GG, I’m okay though really tired. Effects of both treatments are supposed to strongly hit me next week, so I’m curious where that road will go. I’ve got meds and supplies on hand, and head scarves on standby should I need them!

    And I know some just hate Amazon, but under circumstances like these, they’ve been a huge help and stress eliminator.

    Oh boy, Hedonist, sorry to hear what you're going through, but I like your attitude! You got this! Rock n roll...

    I don't get to pop into Pearl Jam land often enough, but I can say I pop in a read a few things and see some of the coolest people and greatest support group. Miss you guys...

    At radiation earlier, it was a woman’s last session. She went in just before me. Some friends had gathered, waiting for her to “ring the bell”, an actual bell that is rung hard and loud when one’s finally through and over it. As I walked in to my session, I got choked up as I told them I wished their friend well.

    I missed the bell, and her little speech afterwards. My husband was there though, and so thankful for him to witness — and live — that experience since I couldn’t. He said it was beautiful, humble, and dedicated to someone else for whom treatment hadn’t worked.

    We all know that someone. 

    It was a sweet moment, even to be on the fringes of it.

    What a nice tribute.

    I look forward to hearing about you ringing that bell!

    I wanted to post a clip of @licoricelust ringing that bell for inspiration, but can't find it. 

    Regardless, I echo @mfc2006's sentiments.
