3 day weekend

I am so glad this was a three day weekend. Gave me an extra day to recover from the most recent chemo blast.

I was running fever all weekend, so went in to check my counts today.  They were low - borderline...so got a little something something to help them.  Having some serious bone pain and neuropathy that is wearing me down.  Nauesa from the pain meds, cant eat, cant sleep - all in all pretty freaking miserable.  But  I am craving a hot doughnut from Meches.....so guess where I am stopping on the way to work on Tuesday ?  I am quite sure that craving a doughnut is a good sign I am on the mend.  I know it will be a tough week to work but I am counting the days till my last chemo so I can get it over with.

Which leads me to a thought ...when will I  be back to normal and feeling good ?   According to my Onc doc it takes 6-12months to get past the chemo side effects....

I also have to start taking Tamox and another oral chemo drug for ten years....and I am starting to think about the side effects from those drugs and how I will handle them.

I also have joined a cancer support group to deal with "issues" I am having.   I was told it is best to be around people who can really relate to what you are going through.  And I think that is what I need right now.    I will give it a go...cant hurt!
