Tomorrow I will be going to my fifth Chemo treatment and this time I am ready to go. This last one I had I didn’t look forward to it and now here we are. The last two treatments were night and day difference. I had two “good” weeks with the third, this time I was just ill up until four days ago. I just wanted to throw up all the time and this stupid lump in my throat just won’t go away. Read More
It’s been two weeks since my last Chemo. I am at the halfway point with it all and I know it should feel like a relief or exciting and everyone shows excitement for me but honestly I don’t feel it. This treatment was different, physically I felt better and recovered a lot quicker within five days but it was also icky at the same time. Read More
It is Wednesday, May 11th. I had a couple of “good” days and then Monday night I plummeted. Crazy how all these drugs make you go downhill so quickly. I felt like I had a full on fever and chills Monday night. I didn’t (and I can’t afford to) have a common flu. But I just wanted to curl up and shut out the world. I should’ve gone to bed a lot sooner than nine o’clock, but I didn’t and I my body paid for it. Read More
It’s Monday, sunny and warm. Just thought you would like to know. 🙂
I have had two “good” days, which means that I don’t feel sick and I only have spurts of energy and then none and little aches here and there – Thank you Lord! 🙂 I prefer no energy to feeling sick any day. But I would like none of this. LOL! I am also stoked that my ten day period finally stopped! Insert happy dance. Read More
I’d like to tell you that my experience is the norm, that there is some standard that everyone can follow when they go through chemo. That just isn’t the truth. I’ve learned firsthand that every treatment is different for every patient. And even a single patient can have a very different experience with each individual treatment. My second treatment was proof of that.
My second treatment began with a quick visit with Oncologist. He examined my breast and confirmed that my tumor was shrinking. THANK THE LORD! We chatted and he decided that we needed to get a marker placed in my breast near the tumor so that they can keep track of it. He said that it could just shrink away and they need to know where to go if that happens. Read More
