I woke this morning with a bloated gut and nothing going south. My stomach has sort of a burning metallic feeling and I'm nauseated - don't really feel like eating or drinking which is totally not ME~ Nurse Laurie gave me more Milk of Magnesia (I took a dose last night too) and I finally had some movement south about an hour later.
My weight has increased from 147 on admission just 2 days ago to 155 this morning. They tell me these chemo drugs cause fluid retention.
However, my stomach remains nauseated. Nurse Laurie who is the kindest person, thinks the chemo cocktail is catching up with my gut. She offered me anti-nausea medication either Compazine or Ativan, but I'm holding off until I can eat something to see if that will help without medications which will just make me tired.
About an hour later, I relented and took 0.5 mg of Ativan - slept for about an hour and then ate my oatmeal. My stomach is still upset. They are going to get an order for Zofran (anti-nausea medication).
