| Facebook Post\n It really sucks being a delicate flower with cancer. \n What do I mean by ‘delicate flower’? The women in my family are very sensitive to substances. We will respond more powerfully to a lower dose, and if there’s a side effect to be had, we’re gonna get it. \n So, I started getting chemo nausea on Monday. It was easing up by Wednesday when I got the infection. The trip to the ER was triggered by tachycardia, which I think was a sign of the infection coming on. \n Anyway, these things were here already on Wednesday, but as the chemo side effects are expected to start subsiding by now, I’ve been expecting my nausea and high resting heart rate (no longer technically tachycardia) to start easing up. But they haven’t. No, they have not. The heart rate has kind of plateaued and the nausea is just getting worse. \n So I googled the side effects of both of the oral antibiotics I’ve been given, and guess what… the side effects of BOTH of them include elevated heart rate and nausea. Grrrreeaaaat. \n Since the anti-nausea drugs I’d been given were off the table (one ineffective and one interacts with the antibiotics) I’ve been prescribed a new anti-nausea. I’ll be trying it soon… hoping for some relief. Unfortunately its side effects also include elevated heart rate, jitteriness and sleeplessness. Just what I need.\n They say they can’t do anything for my high heart rate because it’s not dangerous (only torturous… I feel like I’ve been od’d on caffeine for four days straight now). I just have to push through it until I’m done the antibiotics, which isn’t until Wednesday. Facebook Post:\n Gratitude: We went for a little walk today and I got to pet a dog
