      Just diagnosed

      By Jesse L. · Posted

      Well, actually at this point in this cycle is the good days. My next infusion date is 5/17 so as of 5/19 or so it's going to get dicey...again. But for now it's great; good energy, good appetite, and on and on. Mark my words you'll feel good too. I recommend to do some planning for when it's not so good. Make sure you have crackers (soda, graham, animal, etc.) on hand to stave off nausea. Sure they'll give you anti-nausea meds but you want to try and stay off of them because they cause constipation too. But just in case you have to take them, make sure you have stool softeners, Mira Lax, and maybe even Metamucil as well. You'll also want to eat a lot of little smaller meals or snacks throughout the day rather than any big meals and stay away from spicy food altogether. When it comes to exercise, do what you can, but don't push it. I've been told that overall its better on a person physically if they at least move somewhat, even during the bad days. As for me, during the good days I don't notice much difference from before chemotherapy. Also, relax when you need to, even to the point of taking a nap now and then. Your body will need that too.  You won't feel good during the bad days...of that I can assure you. But know that you'll notice a big difference between a bad day and a good day. You will get through this. I promise...😆
