Almost dug a hole to bury myself!

Hello to all you pink sisters out there, hope all is well in your world.....Thought I'd better keep y'all posted as I haven't blogged for a while.

Well day 6 post chemo number 3.....I think had I had the strength I'd have dug a hole out in the back yard and buried my self %-S  I was travelling not to bad up until day 6 I was in a bit of pain so I took an anti emetic & an endone %-0  suffice to say I spent the night throwing up and feeling sooooo sick....the thing is I'm alleric to codein, pethidine and morphine which all make me vilantly ill and so did the endone....anyway after the most dreadful night on chemo thus far honestly I was ready to go bury myself in the backyard!  The next morning again I was so tired but couldn't sleep and was like that for 2 days where I found I couldn't even sit still to watch tv....very irritating as you all must be aware of....  Anyhow I'm all better now and am day 10 post chemo & have been doing far more than normal & the lethargy hasn't been to bad this time...on the home run now 4th and last chemo on the 6/10 then I'm home & hosed hopefully besides the surgery for the bi-lateral mastectomy....I've even put in my resume for a christmas casual as now I am looking for work again... I am a medical receptionist and love working in retail...so if any of you know anything close to where I live let me know please  :-)  

Anyway Brightest Blessings sending your way, Susan xxxx

    After reading your posts lovely ladies I just want to say hang in there. I never had the misfortune to have to go on chemo but have been put on hormone blockers. I have just been posting about the side effects and how I dont like them and then I read your posts and I feel like such a drama queen. My troubles are nothing compared to you all, so thank you for putting things in perspective for me.  I wish you all as much of a hassle free journey as is possible. Positive thoughts to all out there going thru the chemo journey.
