Another day and I still have lots of side effects. Every hour I have some combination of headache, nausea, hunger, upset queasy stomach and no energy or patience to deal with it. I have another round of chemo tomorrow and I haven't gotten over all the side effects of the last round. I'm worried about what this will mean. Will my side effects be worse? Is this how it's going to be for the rest of my treatments? Alright stop right there. I have to stop this negative thinking. Doesn't do me any good. Must think positive. My sister is coming for a short visit so that's at least something I can look forward to. Something normal. Yes, normal. Wonderful, delightful normal with no attachment to having cancer or doing treatments. I strive to do any normal activity. Helping my husband to make dinner is now what I consider to be a wonderful evening or going with my husband to the grocery store is an exciting adventure. Funny how not so many weeks ago those activities were chores. Chemo treatments put a totally different spin on everything.
