Well, they were right, side effects are kicking in now.
Still got sinusitis...but that is 'hanging on' from the chemo.....
I had a really bad night last night........ terrible stomach cramps kept me awake most of the night.
Toddled off to the loo about 4 times to see if I could 'perform', in the hope that that may relieve the cramps.
No joy though.
This is apparently normal, and I should expect more of it................................ho hum.......
I have a headache that wont be shifted...........
And I am sooooooooo tired............................
My 'nether regions' are starting to get sore now, this too is expected, and will apparently get worse.........
Today, I intend to just 'chill', and do very little, I don't feel that I want anything to eat, just lots to drink.
Right, after that gloom and doom, I am going to look at the positives, because it helps me..........but don't let it fool you, I feel like sh*t!
O.K...the positives........
No hair on my head...... this I am enjoying...saves time and shampoo, I love wearing my head gear! I can colour co-ordinate it to match my clothes.
No hair on my legs.....no need to go through the rigmarole of hair removal!
No eye brows, well not many anyway...I can paint them on the the shape that I want, no plucking, sugaring and threading!
Not having much of an appetite.. (this is a new thing, started late yesterday).....may be able to counteract the weight gain that the cancer/chemo has induced.

Carol,
Try making up a flask of Green tea with fresh mint. If the cramps start you can sip it and sometimes, not always, but sometimes it does help.
Failing that, resort to normal painkillers (paracetamol or whatever) because there's no point in putting up with cramps all night and ongoing pains.
I know you lost your hair through Chemo but did you also lose hair from the 'nether' region? If not, be prepared because you will.
You're doing so well - I was falling apart from 3 days in...only another few days and you've then completed 40% of your treatment.
Hugs xxxx
Hi Carole,
As usual, giving good advice, I really do depend on it.
Thanks for the tip!
No too bad last night, although, as you predicted..I am so tired!
And, yes, my 'nether' region is bald as a coot too! lol!
Hope that you are feeling better.
xxxx
