Day - 4; Not Suited for Weak Stomachs

Today I threw up for the first time since December 1st. Three times at that. Some of my friends ask me what it's like to be on chemo and it's just that, throw up.When you're not throwing up you're thinking about it, and when you're not thinking about throwing up it's because you just did and you're hoping it's the last of it. You feel tired all the time. And you get tired of feeling tired. You smell extremely chemically because of the combination of meds and chemo all going into your body at once. So with that being said I always want to take a shower and have a nice new change of clothes. Some of us develop a heightened sense of smell and our nose becomes our biggest enemy which doesn't help with our already sensitive stomachs. And this is before our counts drops!!! Tuned in to see what (can ) happens when we're full blown neutrapenic (without an immune system-low white blood count). Oh the possibilities are endless.
