This first round of therapy is already kicking my ass. This is the first time I have been out of bed all day. I can't eat, I can't sleep and I can't even remember who I am at some moments. My head is throbbing, my limbs feel heavy...like lead. I didn't even have the strength to lift my head this morning. Jesse tried to get me to eat and drink something, but I just can't stomach it. I have a yellowish tint to my skin and eyes and my skin feels like a snake. My face and eyes are swollen and my teeth even hurt. I was supposed to have a hypnotherapy session today, but I couldn't even make it out of bed. What the hell? I don't know if it's the progestin or the radiation...maybe both, but I don't know why it has to hurt so bad.
 
I got up to use the restroom, and my legs gave out. I knocked my head, twisted my knee and bruised the hell out of my arm. I had my treatment early, early this morning. 5AM to be exact. They took blood, gave me the progestin and started the radiation. I don't remember feeling quite this bad last time. I mean, it sucked, but it's the most horiffic thing I have ever been through. I just can't wait for it all to be over. I keep thinking positive so hopefully things will work out.

    I admire you for having the strength to go through this, for sure, just keep thinking positive.  Get your rest and do what you have to do.  It's OK if you have to slow down a little bit, after all, don't need to have another fall and hurt yourself among other things.  (((((((((HUG))))))))

    I couldn't help being blown away by the fact that you found the strength to end this painful day yet with a positive tone.

    Hi there hun.  It sure sounds like this is taking it out of you.  Don't try to do anything on your own, you must accept the help that's there (I know how bloody stubborn us women are ;-)

    My sister went through the same thing.  It lasted a few days which, out of nearly 4 weeks she felt was worth it.  She usually loves to knit whilst watching TV but she couldn't even hold her own body, arms or head up so spent it laying on the sofa.  Our cousins the twins would take her 4 meals down and put them in her freezer bless them for when she did feel up to eating.  If you can't eat, don't try.  Just wait it out hun and you can get them vitimins in you when you're appetite comes back.

    One thing, please contact your consultant if this continues more than 5 days ok?  Don't try to reply to us here till you feel up to it.

    PS - hopefully I'll soon have some pics of my baby rats (they're camera shy ha ha) to show you :-)

    pssst hang in there..... can I offer some help???
     
    They gotta take your bloods right? before they give you the doses of Prog and Radio... chart it up on a piece of board honey... take control.... ask them where all your levels should be at the end and work your ass off getting there... marking it down every step.. in control not out of control.
     
    You can do it... take control back girl you can you know make it.
