Side effect are kicking in hard...

Let's just say that nausea is looking pretty good right now. December 28, 29 and 30 were pretty good days. Ran the 29th and did cardio/weights the 30th. On the 31st I started to get sick. Terrible muscle aches and pains. It hurt to lay on the couch. I think I started to get thrush (oral yeast infection) in my mouth. On the 31st I went to the pharmacy to get medicine. Things just keep getting worse. My tongue is swollen and completely white (infection???). I am on antibiotics, oral antifugal and pain medicine. The doctor on call at the Tom Baker Cancer Center says that sometimes chemo will make your tongue peel. Yuck!! So we will see how the antibiotics works tonight. I plan on seeing my own oncologist tomorrow. Making a trip to the LA won't be as nice if I am feeling as bad as I am right now.

Jessica goes to school tomorrow and a normal routine resumes. I will try to go to the gym in the morning and work some of the toxins out of my body. It seems like we keep adding medicine to counteract the side effects of other medicine. I feel like have a pharmacy flowing through my veins.

I hope everyone had a nice New Year. I plan to get healthy and go on a nice trip somewhere warm.
