The effects of the chemo are now starting to show up.
My gut is now starting to roil and turn like someone put an egg beater in my intestines.
Additionally, I am starting to get sores on the inside of my mouth and a sore throat.
The hospital has me on all kinds of rinses, glutemin drinks, and other mouth care to keep things under control or lessen its effects.
The throat, mouth, and intestine are composed of fast replicating cells and those always suffer from chemo so all this is expected.. Just hurts for now.
Once my platelet counts go up, the effects should go away but that wont be for about a week or two.
