My first day without chemo meds the night before began at 3:30 AM when I woke up with major stomach cramps, followed by five hours of distress. I'd been told to expect fatigue on the sixth day. I don't have any fatigue, unless you call voiding your bowels repeatedly fatigue - I certainly got tired of that concept quickly.
I called off my 12:30 golf game at 8:00 AM, but by noon I was thinking, well, I probably could have played. It was raining, so I didn't pursue this thought very long. I'll be monitoring progress and post anything of interest. October 19th starts the week that I should expect negative impact on my blood counts. My next doctor's appointment is October 22, 2009.
