It's hard

Well I've  been teary today. Day 3 after AC chemo round 4 and after neulasta and feel like crap. I'm  tired but sleep eludes. I get nauseas frequently but starving also and feel like nothing in the house. My body aches everywhere but especially  my neck and upper body...I have to wear bras again at night to assist.

But of course the real blues is Cancer really sucks on Mothers day. I normally love cooking up a storm and just celebrating being a family....it seems to have sucked the joy out of it. My boys have tried their best...but what can you do. I miss my Mum who passed 8 years ago but equally glad she doesn't have to endure this with me...in person anyway.

All I can think of...this time next year it will  be different....it seems like a long way off. 

Hope you had a better Mother's Day.

    Oh Kath you have been doing it tough these past 2 sessions...

    I hope it gets better soon and you get to eat soon.

    Someone suggested to me good old plain chicken soup tends to be tollerated well - not sure if you tried them.

    Sending u love and light Primek... I'm so sorry for how ur feeling. I am 2wks past my chemo but only had to do 4 rounds.... I know the darkness ur feeling, I felt it the last 2 rounds. I tried to think of all the things I'm going to do when my energy  & health comes back and tried to achieve little goals each day, even if only in my thoughts. Sometimes tho, nothing but time helps. 

    Peace and love xx

    I know that feeling of being bone tired and just can't drop off to sleep. Its rather awful. As to eating, I had weetbix breakfast dinner and tea for a week at one stage. It wasn't glamorous but I held that down ok. Happy mothers day.
