You are really experiencing it all! I think that is one thing i learned the hard way, I must be ready for constant change with chemo. Low counts, delayed treatments and many neupogen shots. I had them after every treatment at round 3 i think. I will say, my first two rounds may have been the hardest…so hopefully, you will adjust as well.

One of my lifesavers during treatment…was our ozarka machine. It dispensed hot and cold water so I could drink warm water quickly without pain. If you crave juice or something..buy the individual servings and keep at room temp..that helps too.

Oh, and the bone pain wasn’t as bad as expected w/ neupogen. I did however, get some bad headaches from them. Don’t let that suprise you. (hydrocodone doesn’t work on headaches either..fyi).

Emend is fantastic….you should feel better with that…and w/ out the thrush you will feel even better. I got it alot and had to takes weeks of the diflucan to keep it at bay.
