Chemo: Round 2 - Day 1 to 3 and the Burger Pill

Regimen 1 is 'in the bag' and we have almost conquered regimen 2. Today was Day 3 of Chemo Regimen 2 and so far so good. The side effects are much like those experienced during regimen 1 except that this time the fatigue and nausea are a lot worse. Again she is battling to sleep but is however, so far, getting in a few more hours than during regimen 1. The nausea, as opposed to just during the chemo infusion, is now continuous throughout the day but the nausea pills are still 'standing their ground'.

Kirstin's medical break through - The burger pill:
Four of the drips "feel as though they are coming up her throat" so Kirstin's scientific analysis of this is that if the fluid is coming up her throat then surely she must get something to counteract that by forcing it back down!! So today, I finally gave in to that logic and got her a chicken burger which she promptly ate and ..... well apparently this 'logic' worked and she felt less nauseas. I do however have my doubts as to whether the medical industry is going to buy into this finding but I do believe that Burger King will jump at this as a source of advertising.
So the moral of the story is simple: The tools for chemo will now be ... book, PSP and a Chicken Burger.
