Hey FS Warriors,

Day 3 after round one of chemo and I'm doing alright. I've had a few side effects my hands have been sort of numb and on Friday and Saturday I had to wear gloves if I touched anything cold because it hurt if I didn't.

Trying to get life back to as normal as possible so I went to the gym Saturday and did a 15 minute treadmill walk. Yesterday I rested most of the afternoon then went up to DC and had a nice dinner and watched the last Capitals regular season hockey game. I had already bought the tickets before I was diagnosed and I felt up for it and made it through. I did not walk laps around the arena in between periods this time though, well not both periods anyways.

I am cleared to resume all activity at the end of this week so I am looking forward to not being as useless at home. Doing what I can but still not enough. Strangely enough, standing seems to drain me faster than walking. So doing dishes or cooking wear me out faster than sweeping or vacuuming.

On the eating front, my appetite hasn't really been affected yet. I still get hungry and am eating normal sized meals. I do have to add in between meal snacks as I start losing energy fast if I don't keep up on it. My weight is coming back up slowly and I'm around 147ish now so still 10 below my pre-surgery weight.
