2 weeks ago I had my last treatment of 6 months of chemo. Whilst I am so glad it's behind me I am not ready to celebrate. I am still very weak and weary and my muscles are constantly aching, sometimes stiff. The doc said on Thu I was doing 'well' after I told her all this. (I have a different definition for well!) Also she said that this pain and fatigue will continue for another 3-4 weeks. I start 30 days of radiation on mon. I wonder when my hair will start growing back and when will the muscle pain ease and when do my taste buds come back 100%. Is there a general answer or does the time frame differ for every one?
Having said all this I am trying to focus on the good in my life not just the hard stuff. There has been quite a few things to grieve over so far but plenty more blessings to be thankful for. I'm even grateful for a cozy bed to rest in!
