It has been a hard week since my chemo started last Thursday. The nausea is one thing, and then the fatigue and brain fog is the other. I was really thinking thoughts of, “I am not sure I can do this” sort of thoughts. But I lean on my God and remember that “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength,” Philippians 4:13.
Today, I finally felt better, my head was clear, and I felt not quite as fatigued. My stomach was better too, although it still is queasy somewhat. I was able to take a walk with a friend and her dog without feeling like I was struggling, so I am glad to have this reprieve and feel half way decent. I still used this day as a rest day around the house, and did some light straightening and clean up only.
Tomorrow I see my surgeon for follow up on my surgery of the port-a-cath and biopsy site. Maybe I will be up to shopping for a scarf or wig on the way home. My hair looks pretty sturdy at this point, so maybe it won’t happen??? Right.
I have my chemotherapy every other week, so I can have a normal life somewhat in between. I am grateful to have a better day and thankful that God is with me in this.
So glad you have eased into your easier week. It’s not easy, but you can do this with God and friends by your side. Hugs!
I am very glad as well that I am feeling better. My stomach still is slightly queasy at times, but not like it was. Everyone’s help and support has been more than wonderful. Thank you everyone. I feel like I am being taken care of. I am blessed.
