Food + Chemotharapy = :(
My parents are obsessed with getting me to consume a ton of protein, which is driving me bonkers; anything I consume, which isn't a solo sip of water or the occasional jelly snack, makes me want to vomit. Anyplace I go, except to the bathroom itself, is accompanied by a big plastic basin in case I need to crack one.
Fortunately, today I get to drop the ultra-toxic cisplatin from my routine today, leaving me with just the very toxic doxorubicin. It administers faster and supposedly has milder side effects. Best of all, on Saturday I get a shot of Neulasta and then (barring infection) the doctors are going to leave me alone until I check into the hospital for high-dosage methotrxate, two weeks from now. Yay!
