Oh my goodness, I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. I woke up, nauseous, around 7 and staggered out of bed to take my meds. Asleep again on the couch by 9:30, and it’s all I can do to keep my eyes open. I haven’t eaten a bite, and my mouth feels like cotton batting. I’m distressed, because everyone said I’d be fine for the first few days after treatment. This tiredness might be non-cancer related – I always feel a little fatigued this time of the month – but whatever it is I don’t like it.
feel better! suck on ice cubes or popsicles if you have them (which you should).
how about some fantastic and or mind numbing television? buffy? sex and the city?

I hesitate to jump in here with no expertise but it seems to me you should be exhausted and, yes, have an upset stomach if only because of the nervous strain of it all. To a lesser degree I’m sure the whole Support Team is pretty much there, too.
Do you think maybe you’ll-ah-get used to it?
Well, there you are…stupid Cancer remark.
Really just want to say I’m sorry you feel lousy.
And I’m sorry I can’t get the Youtube stuff because I don’t have high speed. I’d get it but it’s so much trouble to switch all my addresses.
Yoghurt and probiotics are your friends. Meera was eating about six probiotic pills a day towards the end of her adventures in medicine.
Yogurt is great advice, and may be your best friend(next to Josh) in the upcoming months.
there’s a whole firefly related plotline going on on xkcd, starting here:
