A Multiple Choice Exam

So for most of today I've had a headache, fatigue, weird sinus stuff, stomach upset, and zero desire to eat. Is it:

A. Physiological side effects of the last round of chemotherapy?
B. Pyschosomatic side effects of the last round of chemotherapy?
C. Some seasonal bug I acquired by stupidly going to Target yesterday to buy toilet tissue, a blender, and the new Call of Duty game?
D. Some combination of the above?

Yeah, your guess is as good as mine. All I can say is that I'm really tired of feeling lousy for no specific, time-limited reason. I do hope the side effects of the Xeloda are fewer and less intrusive than the fluorouracil it's replacing. If they're not, I won't be staying on the pills for long.

Contemporary cancer treatment: keeping you alive so you can feel lousier for longer. 

Personally, I'm growing tired of feeling lousy.
