Good Afternoon,
Well what an extraordinary day!
My lovely Mum came to pick me up for an appointment with my oncologist this morning (as I wasn't up to driving 75kms to the Hospital and then anoth...
OMG Kerry it sounds like you had an absolute crap day from hell you poor luv. You are in a very emotional stressful place with all you have going on so it is very understandable that you lose your logical calm traits for a while. They will come back and you will probably eventually learn to be even calmer in yourself. You are certainly being tested at the moment. Hang in there and don't let it beat you.
There isn't a lot you can do to lift your levels at the moment; You sound like a very intelligent person and know all the right things to do. Eat really well when you feel like it, drink lots of water and fluids, rest up as much as you can and stay totally away from anyone that has even a sniffle. It is the chemo knocking your immune system around. You can only do what you can which you already are doing. The Neulasta injection will help I am sure. I had to give myself the injection after every chemo as well and it did help.
I am sure other girls will have other suggestions for you. Just keep yourself as well as you can. Gentle exercise when you can will help you emotionally as well.
It is so sad that you had to go thru all that extra drama on the day of your chemo as it is hard enough getting yourself there and being in the right frame of mind and then to go through what you did and then on top of that put up with selfish mongrels tooting horns at you. I can assure you I would have given him more than a toot of a horn for his efforts.
Stay as strong as you can my love, don't fight it, just ride with the bumps and pot holes and you will get there.
Wishing you lots of love and support. It sounds like you have support in your mum so that is great. Lots of love always, Mich xoxoxoxo
