Lots of Side Effects

Chemo #2 Day 5

Ma slept most of the day today. But she experienced a lot of side effects.

• Mouth pain. It went away after rinsing with Biotene, a mouthwash for dry mouth.
• Slight fever in the morning. It was gone by afternoon.
• Leg pain & chest pain. Controlled by Darvocet.
• Headache. Controlled by Aleve.
  
• Nausea and vomiting. Controlled by Compazine.
• Diarrhea. Controlled by Imodium.

The nausea and vomiting happened this evening after dinner and didn't last long. She went to bed after taking Compazine, and it looks like she's feeling better now. She had been taking Zofran to control the nausea, but she's supposed to take it for only 3 days, and it's now the 4th day.
