1/20/12 - Day After Chemo

Slept extremely well last night!  No vomiting.  No pain.  I'm thrilled.  However, as I got up and started moving around, I felt this trembling inside, and started to have slight waves of nausea.  Then one big wave of nausea... so to head it off, I took a pill to stop that!  I'm always so hesitant about taking  medications, thinking I need to hold out as long as I can.  Dr. Cohen taught me last time to stay ahead of the pain (and now nausea) by taking the meds I've been prescribed at the first sign of a problem, indicating to me that I will not get addicted, because my body actually needs these medications.  So I'm following doctors orders... and it's working.  I'm so very fatigued.  I'm going to lay my head on a pillow now.
