Through the first round of chemotherapy, I thought "well, this isn't so bad". Sure there were unanticipated side effects, but they all had fixes and it was just a matter of a few days to get them under control.
Then I had a couple of weeks off, and felt almost like myself. On Friday, November 3, Round Two started. It's the heavier session with both Cisplatin and Gemcitabine - in total takes about three hours to infuse.
I was hit by a truck. Zero energy, upset stomach, leg and arm pain. I could sleep on the couch from 2pm till 7am the next morning and still feel tired.
But today (Friday, Nov 10) I get the Gemcitabine by itself - takes about a half hour. And I feel OK. It's almost like they know what they're doing...
