20 minutes, 12 mins, 18 mins, 5 mins, 8 mins. No I am not in labor.
It's 1.33 am and another night where the hot flushes are coming in waves. 20 minutes, then 12 minutes then 18 minutes, then 5 minutes then 8 minutes, then 20 minutes and so on. My leg is out of the c...
Hey Nadi!
OMG I know it seems relentless, Im 21 months post Chemo and the flushes definitely settle to what you are having now, but that's not helpful!!! I can relate to everything you said, and all I can think is deep down you're screaming for some downtime and just BE whatever it is you want to do and be for now. I'm guessing the trip you cannot change, however sounds like work is alot of pressure, that you just don't need right now in your life? is there anyway you can put you first?
Nadi I remember when I was getting through Chemo, I had to work as am a single parent, but I was so incredibly ill, I fought so hard to keep going in and in the end I had to say STUFF IT!! it will all work out...and I have to put me first. It was the BEST thing I ever did, and since then yes I work, but everything is on my terms, the only way I improved and got the rest I deserved was to stop.
