My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| Having a month-long break allowed me to start feeling a lot better. My taste returned to normal, I was eating better, not tired all the time, and just feeling better than I have in almost six months. Then, last Tuesday, the chemo infusions started back up, my last two infusions. Because they were tearing me up so much, they were reduced in potency, and for a few days, I didn't feel much worse than before the treatment. The last few days, however, the side effects have begun to return. I find myself feeling tired and run down, my neourophay has gotten more intense, and I'm suffering a lot of digestive discomfort. Today I also noticed I have little appetite and have to make myself eat. Of course, the change in my taste has a lot to do with it; nothing tastes the way it should. The symptoms are not as severe as before my break; they are actually a lot milder so far. But, having now had a break from them, I'm reminded how miserable chemo is, and how I eagerly look forward to ending the chemo. I have eight more days until my last chemo infusion! After, I know I'll feel even worse for a couple of weeks, but then I can start to recover, to feel better, and get my life back. |
