Oh, to be so naive and full of hope and promise! I thought I would sail through the second half of chemo, but I thought wrong. I have not had nausea, but I mistakenly called that "winning". I would take nausea any day. When we arrived home Tuesday evening, I still had not felt any real effects of the chemo other than fatigue. I was so happy not to be nauseous, I was almost giddy. However, as the night progressed the symptoms began to creep in. Around bedtime, I began feeling tingling and numbness in my hands. In fact, I needed Jamie's help to remove an ear bud from my AirPod case. I did not have the dexterity or strength to grip and pull one out out of the case. I should have taken this as a sign.
