A few things I miss since starting chemo...
manicures, happy hour, not being a germ-a-phob, diet coke, having a normal sense of smell, my hair, vanilla lattes, sushi, not being tired all of the time, a normal schedule...
Things that I have gained since starting chemo...
A sense of control over the cancer, knowing that I am doing something to kick cancer's ass, relaxing and napping whenever I please, being able to eat all the pinkberry I want...
I have a feeling that undergoing chemotherapy is a lot like being pregnant. I have a very sensitive sense of smell, some bouts of nausea, fatigue, and many dietary restrictions. I should avoid alcohol and caffeine and I can't eat raw foods.
Third round of chemo is going pretty well so far! I have an appetite and am feeling pretty tired but good. Three down...five more to go!
