First post. I'm trying to bounce back after this treatment as much as I can. It's just hard to get rid of that need to sleep. And half the time it is way too hot to even think about sleeping, but I feel exhausted. So, it makes me frustrated. My bones are aching, but I tried working out and stretching and took some Tylenol, so I am feeling less miserable. I read on blogs about certain over the counter drug medications that could work like Claritin. But, I still have this weird thing about taking drugs on chemo. Like I'm not putting enough crap in my body already. Hmph.
But, nonetheless, fifth day after chemo infusion #2 I am doing better than last time. Just the bone aches get to you. My sister is going for her appointment today for the cervical cancer. I still cannot believe that that in itself is happening. My heart goes out to her for even having to deal with that.
I continue to read blogs online from lymphoma patients. It takes the sting away from knowing it might be a little longer of a journey. But let's just kick this thing in the butt and get it over with. My dad asked me the other day if I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, I do. It might be faint and overwhelming, but I do see that I will survive. It is a journey that I must take, and when I look back it will be something I will never forget.
