13th Nov 2011 (Sun): 16th day in Hospital (SGH) - After 1st Chemo (day4)

Today is Day 4 after 1st chemo.

Side effects: Vomit my breakfast out at 9am with Cousin around. No appetite. Headache.

Doctor gave me an injection to stop the vomit and I slept until 1pm. He said my headache is caused by dehydration so I have to make sure I drink more than 2 litres of water. Chemotherapy makes you dehydrated. He says mine is a delayed effect. Don't know why my effect comes to late.

Hair is still around!! *Jumping*


Favourite food: 

This sor dah peng is good food when you have no appetite.. YUM!

Today amongst my visitors, there is my favourite---VERA!. She is very sociable, she just mingle with my visitors and talk to them like a social butterfly. I hope she can maintain her friendliness :) She can also make use of whatever is available in the room and keep herself entertained. I am glad she still wants me to kiss and hug her too. Upon leaving, she never ask me to leave with her as if she knows I need to stay in hospital. She just kiss me, hug me and left off to find her father.

Later at night, I ate two mouths of the hospital food and went down for some wonton noodle soup and cheng teng. Somehow my appetite is back! yay! Hope it goes on tomorrow. I hate the anti-nauseous jab. It is painful :(

And I forced the hubby to hug me and re-assure me hahaha.. While doing so, the "third party" came hugging our legs and attempt to pull us apart.
