Hi Barb, sorry you're feeling miserable, chemo is such a hard time for us all. Maybe you feel like you're doing nothing, but your body is fighting hard to beat this thing. As women we are used to being there for those we love, now is the time to allow those who love you the joy of looking after you. Maybe working in your garden might be a practical way they could help?
Youre halfway through chemo, just think in under 4 weeks time you'll be all done. Talk to your Doc and ask if they can do anything to make this next dose easier. I had extra pre-med drugs, antihistamines and 2nd daily IV fluids for a week after chemo that really helped those last few doses. Even took an extra weeks break to build strength before going back into the battle. Ask what they can do to help you, that's their job.
Wishing you all the best for Thursday. Just remember that the pity party never lasts forever, at the end there's a glory story waiting just for you xXx
