Oh My Throat!!

So. Side effects are hitting and they are not fun. At all. I have a deep, congested cough. Not awesome. And it's making my extremely sore throat even worse. 

I was told that chemo just wrecks the digestive system, beginning to end, and now I see what they are saying. I was really hoping to be one without any kind of mouth/throat sores, but no such luck.

You cannot imagine the pain of simply swallowing liquid! I don't even dare to swallow spit most of the time. I don't want to take any of my pills, which I need. I've got 2 news meds on board to deal with this unpleasant situation. I hope they work QUICKLY! Plus I have no taste buds. We've been getting meals from family, friends, and neighbors and I'm just going to assume they were delicious. 

This cold has knocked me on my butt. I could sleep all day long. Problem? My husband also has a cold and we have a very mischievous 2 year old. He can destroy things so quickly. Hard to rest when he's on the loose. Can we fast forward to bedtime?

Oh and I'm now scheduled for a new port next Monday, first thing. I hope everything goes smoothly so that I don't have to do IV chemo next Tuesday.
