RE: 01/02/19 Day 86 , Cycle 5 of 6. Today We Start Chemotherapeutic Treatment
I am handling the chemo very well. It beats the hell out of me but I will not let it overwhelm me. So far it is doing what it is supposed to. We will know after cycle 6 and How soon it comes back
I am glad that it is doing what it is supposed to do! And let's just envision that it will kill the cancer and you will be healthy again. I had cancer and chemo 15 years ago - different cancer - colon- but I am still here. And I hope that we will have a conversation in 15 years from now.
Now I have to add you to my hero list. There are so many cancers and not enough cancer survivors. Big hug 🤗 to you.
Yes 15 years from now we will have a conversation . Have to put that !remindme 2034
If I can remember how to do it
Agreed. Way too many cancers. And I put the remind me in my calendar as well. Hope that you are getting a good night's sleep. Chemo and I did not get along very well. I was very sick and had to slow down the treatment.
My sleeping is crap. One hour here and there.
I am taking the chemo OK but then again I don’t care how bad it is I will power through. This is chemo week and I am going to suffer for the next 18 days LOL
I am so glad you made it through even after slowing down with chemo. The slowing down chemo with SCLC scares me to death.
You give me hope Marianne 🙏 thank you a little emotional here
I didn't sleep well at all. what has helped me is to listen to stories while trying to rest. Now, there are so many cool podcasts available - then, it was CDs or tapes LOL
Get your headphones on and let them at least help you rest instead of thoughts twirling. What do you like to listen to? Maybe I can recommend some to you.
A lot of people love the Sleep with me podcast.

Not my personal favorite but I know tons of people who swear by that one :)
And this guy is one of my all time favorites. It makes History so fascinating

I need quite and dark. The slightest thing wakes me up and I am in a very light sleep thats not a sleep at all
Oh, so you need noise canceling headphones and an eye mask. Hope that you are able to rest throughout the day at least.

I rest throughout the day. Sometimes i think it makes it worse. The chemo week and week after are the worst . Get through it the best I can
