1st Chemo = 1st Side Effects

Everyone said the first chemo would be no big deal with no side effects. After going through the last three days since my first infuse, that was not totally correct. Ive had a major nauseating headache for THREE days. With a couple of times a minute, a pounding from my neck to the top of my head, feeling like my head might actually explode. Its gradually lightened up and is pretty much gone today. Turns out I might have been slightly dehydrated, or really just not hydrated enough with all the poison being pumped into my body. So Ive tried to drink as much water as possible and that has seemed to help. I do not look forward to having a major headache after every chemo. Let's hope next week goes better.
