It's different

I have to say the whole Chemo experience this time around is quite a bit different than 3 years ago. 
On this go round I get 4 drugs on Monday and 3 on Tuesday. There aren't much in the way of side effects on those days. But come Wednesday, around noon it hits me. Dizziness, shortness of breath if I try to do anything and inability to fall asleep. It's especially bad this week as both Eileen and I have bad colds/flu. 

Another issue is the hunger that results from the steroids. Last go round gained 30 lbs, not that bad yet but I can feel it coming.

I'm going to see the transplant team on Tuesday at Rush to plan the way forward, let's see where that goes.
