I got my Neulasta shot this afternoon and am now starting to feel the effects. I started taking ibuprophen about 10:00 am. I ate sparingly today, as food tastes terrible. Although I feel rather hungry, I just can’t stomach food.
I have had little problem with nausea. I took one Kytril this morning. It was more as a precaution as opposed to actual nausea feeling. I’ve been taking Ginger capsules. I don’t know if their helping, but nausea has not been a problem.
My only real problem is the taste of food. I went into this chemo cycle on the fat side so I’m not really worried. I expect my taste buds to be still under the weather tomorrow and I also expect to feel pretty badly. I’m going to make some coffee tomorrow and see if that helps my general well-being.
I did six minutes in the tanning booth this afternoon to get a large helping of vitamin D. I still remember reading that all types of cancer, with the exception of skin cancer, decrease the closer one lives to the equator. It is thought this is due to the increased amount of vitamin D those people got. I’m working on getting lots the natural way.
