Chemo # 3 is definitely kicking my sorry ass but...
"I'll be back!"
(You all know I will!)
Been dealing with excessive fatigue, super duper sore throat, "thrush" (painful white spots in mouth) and depression, low-self esteem, feelings of loneliness...sick of being bald....I have a newfound respect for cancer survivors...that is FOR SURE!
I am getting my next chemo on Monday, November 25th...."Can't wait!" HA HA!
I am totally dreading it....well not dreading getting it but dreading what is to come after.....
What's hard is you forget, while you are going through all the crappy side effects of chemo, that you WILL bounce back again...and be your old self again...your brain just somehow makes you think you will always be this tired.....and feel this bad....
My sister Trudy & her hubby Scott came over yesterday to help us. WOWSIE did they ever help a lot! First they brought the most yummy homemade chicken soup, then they cleaned ( dusted, vacuumed, straightened, did dishes...) and cooked dinner, steam-cleaned rugs, washed, folded, put away laundry, kept Chippy company, drove Eli to his pal's, and.... Scott is a master woodworker and he fixed TWO pieces of furniture that needed some TLC! Oh yes and I forgot to mention.....all this while I napped like a total load for two hours.....Thanks you guys! You did much more than I wrote here....but my brain is kinda fried...and I can't remember every little thing...I know there was much more done.....But basically.....I can't believe you gave up one whole day of your life for us...that was so awesome of you!
God Bless & Night Night, All.....Love, Annie
Hope you feel good, better, best...very, very soon, Annie! Hang in there! Pat
