As I said before, this has been a weird week. For the past 3 chemos, my bad day has been on the 3rd day. The first chemo, I was hit hard on Friday. The next time, Friday was a bit better but still not fun. Last Friday was not bad at all. Didn't feel good but did't feel bad. So I was thinking that I was in a rhythm now. Wrong! My last chemo was on Tuesday and I was ready for Friday. I was set, but on Thursday felt really bad and on Friday I had really bad fatigue. So bad that I came home on Friday and basically passed out at 8. Saturday was tired but felt better. And today, feel "normal". I was laughing that I wished that I could get a system down to know how I would feel on what day, but what fun would that be!
I did find out that I was in a play this weekend. The Tacoma sector of our church had the kids Christmas play today where they talked about Barnabus and they used me as an example in the play. I had my 15 minutes of fame and missed it!
I'm glad you were feeling "normal" today Chris. And, yet, a "normal" Chris-day sounds a little cur-azy to me! Have a week filled with peace and hope, my friend.
ReplyDeleteChemo adds up....and takes time to get full impact felt....the good news is that it is messing up the ability of the cancer cells to replicate themselves. I applaud you for your inner strength and attitude..it does make a difference. Check out reike too....it can be a great healer. I am sure Laisha would be willing to show you as she is a reike master and teacher. I am a reike 2.....Linda and I learned it to help each other and to do it on ourselves. Nameste.

Thanks so much for the update. It's great to hear encouraging news! I hope you can continue to have good days after your chemo, but also allow yourself to rest when you need it. Merry Christmas!
