Chemo so far

I had never intended that this Blog become a day-by-day, blow-by-blow account of my battle with cancer.
One reality that has become pretty apparent pretty quickly, is that this is much more a war of attrition than anything else. The chemo is a slow, laborious process that might (slightly better than 50% chance) result in victory - but we won't really know anything for at least another four months.
After just over week on chemo, what do I know? I know that the weekend after a Day One will be bearably unpleasant (maybe 6.5/10 on my personal wellness scale?). I know that if this last week and a half is anything to go by, my fears about chemo are pretty much unfounded. Each day since last Monday I've felt better, until the last two days I would rate myself as 9/10 - and frankly, I need artificial stimulants these days to feel much beter than that in the normal course of things. I know that I will lose my hair sometime next week, but I'm not in the slightest bit concerned about that. I know that just because I've had few in the way of side affects that it won't necessarily be like that for each cycle.
And what do I think? I think I'm going to be relatively unaffected by the chemo, based upon my experiences so far. I think that I'll get used to the tiredeness and lack of energy towards the end of each day. And I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have a decent outcome.
From here on, I'm going to add to the blog only every week or so - that should mean that I'll have something to add that's informative, rather than have it all a stream of consciousness thing.
