Day 3 of Chemo

Dear blog,

Another day rolls by and the nausea remains tolerable, but. I need to be eating more and I am, in fact, eating less. The morning is easiest, but as the day goes, when I would usually be getting in the bigger meals, the nausea is actually getting worse. I'm down 3 pounds in as many days.

So I'm taking some advice on getting food down from the ten pound box o' booklets they gave us on the first day. I got some lactose free ice-cream and Fortify Plus, kroger brand "ton o' calories in a bottle". 350 calories to the fortify plus bottle, 13g protein and a vitamin pill's worth of ground up nutrients. My thinking is that I will eat as much solid food as I can, then fill in the remaining calories with this junk to keep from dropping weight so fast.

I slept for 11 hours last night and took a 1 hour nap this afternoon. I swam in the morning, but not particularly far. Hopefully day 3 is the worst day, because I feel pretty lousy at this point.

Rolling along,
Ian Hogan.
