My lungs
Well here I am 16 days after 7 hits of chemo and I certainly have noticed how slowly I have recovered. By this time I am normally walking for a half an hour, and organizing a coffee. This time, I am still have 2 hour sleeps in the arvo, and notice a change in my lungs. I had my Oncologist available at the Radiation Prep appointment yesterday, he said it is a normal side effect of Chemo, and its fluid. I will return to normal. It feel weird to take a deep breath and I notice how I lack energy - but not worried. I assumed it was one of those things that happens. I am more interested in feeling great by my birthday on May 8th when I have decided we are going to do an overnight trip away. The Radiation prep was ok and I was surprised at how well I held my arms above my head, but the muscle spasm last night reminded me Id been lying on a hard surface for about 20 mins. Doctor was busy, so they went looking for him. The Tattooing is less pain than a blood test so I was happy with that. I was congratulated on how easy it was for them to work on me...I assumed it was because I have no fat on my body now. (except for the ab fat on standby hehehe). Wont throw any clothes away though, I have a tendency to regain weight do to my love of food! But now I dont eat red meat or drink wine, or have anything sweet, I guess the food thing is no long my hi- light of my life! Can only imagine how boring my diet must seem to outsiders, because it is so natural...often Im bored! Our grocery bill has definately gone up. But I think its the same because I dont eat take away now, and well, we used to drink wine often! Thats it for me, Im ok! I am watching to see how all the new people are and giving support! XX Bel
