Who else can't sleep?

@kmakm it’s such a good feeling and helps so much mentally. My boss just texted me and there was a study that said structured exercise straight after chemo (if u can do it) can target the cancer cells more. Not that I should have any as everything was clear and I’m putting myself through this as a precautionary thing - no regrets!!

@"Kiwi Angel" Fantastic! It's such a good feeling to get back to your normal physical activity. For your body and your brain.

@kmakm - that’s ok. On the upside I managed to go for a walk this morning and managed to run 1/2 of it which is the first time since my surgery. Felt really good. 

@"Kiwi Angel" Yes, good idea to have him on standby. I reacted to the Docetaxel so was given Phenergan. I was very dopey & unsteady in my feet when I'd finished and could not have walked or driven home.

Sorry your sleep was so rotten.

Excellent.  I just ask as with my first treatment, they had to give me anti-nausea drugs, which by the time the cap came off, I couldn't walk straight.  And do call him if you need him - it might be easy but it is even easier with someone in your corner.

@Sister - my husband would leave work early and come get me if I need him - he has offered to come for the whole day but no point in him sitting there for hours.  Luckily the chemo place is literally a 5 minute walk from my apartment ;-)

Good Luck @"Kiwi Angel"  It's very daunting, I know but you'll be fine.  Have you got someone to take you home if the meds make you drowsy?

This is actually better than it looks - most of the time of either side of the sleep is me TRYING to sleep
