Good morning!
What a beautiful weekend! I hope this lovely spring weather lasts!
Started chemo and radiation last week. So far, so good. The only chemo side effect I am feeling is fatigue. Very, very tired. Other than that, practically nothing. Randy's birthday was Friday. Had family over for pizza and many desserts. A very nice evening. Went to the Royals game on Saturday and was absolutely beat by the time we left the game. Sunday morning, went back to bed after I puttered around the house a bit and slept until almost 1:30!
A lot of you are asking what you can do and if I want company to my chemo appointments. Thank you! I luckily only have to go in and "sit" for chemo once a week because I have this pump that provides chemo 24/7. The radiation appointments are super fast... I'm in and out in a matter of 20 minutes. The only side effect I am feeling from the radiation is a warm, flushed feeling that comes on in the afternoon and lasts thru the evening. The warm feeling and fatigue almost makes me feels like I've been at the pool all day. Wish that was the case!
I love your all's emails and suggestions. Special thank you to Carol Crass for letting me know about the Clean House for Chemo Patients program. I'm definitely going to take advantage of this. Also, one of my dear neighbors suggested setting up a dinner schedule just a couple nights a week. If you are interested in this, please email Tiffany Shalberg at tshalberg@yahoo.com. Please do not feel obligated to do anything!!!!... I am just happy to have your support.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Take care!
