More like “Hell 18 Days” if the experience of last time is any indication. M had chemo Tuesday and his pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) shot yesterday.
So far the side effects are: bone pain, general pain, nausea, itchy skin, constipation, reddened skin, voice changes, and his face is puffy. He also has “chemo brain” with its fuzziness of thought. He started losing hair about 10 days ago, he shaves his head so you wouldn’t notice it there but other body hair is falling out. He doesn’t have any underarm hair left & yesterday he even noticed his eyelashes coming out.
I’m sure I missed a few, or more likely, there’s a few M isn’t telling me…
