This weekend was better than last weekend. Not as tired as the weekend before. My face looks horrible. Does anyone remember the guy in the movie Hellraiser, that is kind of how my face looks. Ok, well I just looked up a picture of the guy from Hellraiser and my face looks nothing like that (he has pins sticking out of his face) but that is how I feel so I am going to stick with that description.
I have been taken off my oral chemo for the week. They are trying to get my mouth sores under control. I still think they are related to my infused chemo. They seem to cycle with when I get that medicine not the oral medicine that I take everyday, but I guess we will see what happens on Wed./Thurs., that is when I usually get them.
Overall, it has been a decent Monday and I am looking forward to tomorrow, hoping my mouth quits tasting like rust. Doesn't really taste like rust but it has a nasty taste and the taste of rust seems comparable to what I have been tasting for the last 3 days. It will be over soon, usually by Tues./Wed.
What in the world am I going to do when I don't have side effects to guide my days!
In spite of all the 'side effects', mouth sores, fear, pain & just plain feeling like crap...yet you continue on day in & day out at work without complaint. Doing what you do so well, treat & take care of others. You are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE awesome, Dana--and I thank you for sharing som eof the sturggle.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking this morning of an idea, I think a good one, re the choice conflicts. If you stop by, I'll show you how to do a really useful desional balancing system--and when positive rational and positive emotional reasoning is in conflict, I have an idea there too!
