Same Thing Every Time, Huh?

As could be expected, I spent most of the day prone on the couch. I find it kind of strange that as fatigued and tired as I was, I don't think I napped at all the entire day. Just spent the afternoon vegging, watching TV with my laptop close by to work a little, email a little, websurf a little... Still didn't quite have the mental stamina to fire up some poker tables, though.

The nausea was much worse today than it has been in previous sessions. It's funny - before every session, I talk with Suzie the chemotherapy nurse about the previous session, and (as I've posted) each session has been pretty different - more nausea in some sessions, less in others, more headaches in some sessions, less in others, etc. She says that is kind of strange - while everyone reacts to the treatments differently, typically each person reacts to each session the same way every time. Well, I've had very different reactions each time. For example, I haven't had too much nausea the previous sessions, but this time I've been beat down pretty good by it. Then again, today I didn't really have any issues with headaches, whereas that has been my biggest side effect the past few times around.

Anyway, I'm still plugging along. I appreciate the wellwishes everyone is sending, and I can't imagine doing this without all you guys.
