Today has been an okay today, I have slept for most of it! Chemotherapy gives you sudden tiredness than you just can't fight and have to sleep off! I've had about 4 different naps today! It is good to not over do something if you can't do it though! I do always feel better after I've had a sleep. I have felt a bit sad today because my hair is just very patchy because it is falling out but I know I would of felt even worse if this was my long hair. I would recommend to anyone who is going to have treatment to just shave it off and be proud! Cancer smells! It is going to fall out anyway so there isn't much to lose.
I am very achy in my leg muscles which is a side effect of the treatment as my blood levels are quite low now my whole body just isn't very strong.
I did enjoy the sunshine today with my little brother and sister! It was nice to be able to eat my lunch and dinner outside for once. I also am starting to wear a scarf now because of the hair loss as it makes me feel a bit more comfortable and not having to see the patches in the mirror when I walk by.
I think once the hair has all gone I will feel okay because at the moment it is quite sore to touch and lie on.
I would say I am really enjoying not having to be on lots of tablets a day and just a few. It does make a difference to how I feel and I do like to feel "normal" as much as I can!
I know I only have one more week to go until my second cycle begins but if I can manage the first one I can manage all 6 :)
I am just aiming for that remission party and seeing the adventure I have been on!
I have been looking back at my first posts and thinking wow that was so long ago!
:)
It is June tomorrow! 6 months to Christmas! :D
