Post Chemo - Day 5

Day 5 - Last day of the post chemo meds. For anyone that might be interested - I had to take (2) Prednisone pills a day for 5 days and (2) Kytril pills for 3 days after Chemo. Also had another anti nausea pill that I could take as needed.

Energy level was good today. Went for a walk and hit some tennis balls against the wall at the park.

Another kind of big milestone for me today was that I stopped drinking soda. Several months ago I had switched from Pepsi (was drinking about 6 a day) to 7-up and Root Beer to ween myself off of caffeine. I had slowly cut back to the point of only having (3-4) 7-ups a day. I have decided that if I want to come out on the other end of this cancer experience a healthier person - meaning weighing less and trying to eat healthier - I should stop drinking soda period. I am drinking a lot more water and 100% fruit juices now.
