I had my second round of chemo Friday afternoon, and it went much more smoothly this time.  It takes about twice as long as we originally anticipated, but there were no unexpected side effects. The first half of Saturday was a little rough, though.  The indigestion bothers me the most.  It actually starts as soon as the chemo medication does. Then I woke up yesterday with the worst heartburn -- Tums help.  I'm now learning to keep Tums (for indigestion,) Imodium (for you-know-what,) Benedryl (for itching,) and Extra Strength Tylenol (for headaches) nearby, aside from the prescribed meds.  I'm also drinking water constantly -- that's very important to help flush the toxicity out!!  I'm learning a lot from e-mails and posts I'm getting from folks that have been through this before -- I can't tell you how much that helps me and may help others reading this that are going through something similar.
