Day two is better than yesterday. According the the medical oncologist I shouldn't have shown much reaction until today. I guess my body was just itching to get to the fight sooner. Today is a better day. I am definitely fatigued and trying to take it easy but the nausea and pain went away and hasn't come back. Now I am what one Internet site referred to as "stomach aware". That means I can eat and drink without a problem but I am aware of my stomach if that makes any sense. Right now I am focusing on drinking water whenever I can. One of the big things with Cisplatin is to flush it from your system. They say I should drink a minimum of 64 ounces a day.
One plus of technology today is wireless access and remote connectivity. Fortunately my home network is more along the lines of a corporate one so I have been able to accomplish some actual work today. Its funny but now that I have started treatments and am on a regular schedule I feel a bit more calm. (Except for next week when I get the PEG tube installed! Yuck on that one.) Every morning I go for radiation treatment at 10:00. I should be back home by 11:00. That will let me get into a bit of a routine. I have also been stepping back from volunteer activities so that I can focus more time on keeping myself well, my family and work.
