Cycle 2 - Remaining Two Weeks All Good

Day 9 - Day 24                      27 June2013 - 10 June 2013

Action                                    The second and third weeks post chemo were similar to the first cycle. 

                                                I was in good robust health with occassional hot flushes. I did notice

                                                a greater or pervading sense of fatigue even during this period after I 

                                                had undertaken something physical like gargening that I didnt 

                                                experience last time.

Drugs                                     I did not have the need for any medications during this period.

Outcome                               Psychologically felt terrific as well as physically. So was able to 

                                              undertake many small jobs around the house which in turn fed my sense 

                                              of well-being and usefulness. 

Sleep                                     Still had occassional  nights where sleep is interrupted by quick changes 

                                              in body temperature but on the whole, feel very good. Am exercising 

                                              regularly.

Drugs                                     Took anti nausea meds at four hourly intervals through out the day. 

                                              General better sense of well being today and felt more motivated.

Outcome                               Got through the day  with some activity and purpose. Still felt quite 

                                              nauseous throughout the day. Fewer chills and temperature swings.

Sleep                                     Ok night sleep still had some residual chills that woke me throughout the 
                                               night followed by a surge feeling hot, sweaty and uncomfortable.
