This round has hit me pretty hard. I have not been able to eat much at all, and I am very tired and sore. I went to bed at 8:00 last night and slept until almost 8:00 this morning. I sat down at my desk at 8:30 with a pile of pills, 4 beverages, and a piece of toast. Yikes.
I know. I know. Last one. Trust me, I am thrilled by that. I just have to get these side effects past me before I can be as excited as I should be. Hopefully I will be able to stop taking my nausea meds by tomorrow or Sunday. That is when I usually get to the point where the side effects outweigh the benefits.
Looking ahead, I am seeing my surgeon next week to discuss my surgery. I am eager to have the surgery and get moving toward radiation. My oncologist was out on vacation on Tuesday so I did not have the opportunity to talk to him about what we might do if I do not have a complete response at surgery, but that is on my list for my next appointment with him.
After my office closed at 3pm today, I took a nice long nap. Napping seems to be the most helpful at this point so I am trying to do so whenever I can. Chemo #8 has left me reeling...I think that chemo just does not want me to forget how much "fun" it can be. Awfully generous of it.
