Chemo Crash

I hate chemo crash...I'm exhausted.

I did really well on Thursday I even went and did a little shopping. Then I started to crash on Friday, I can't even really tell you what I've done the past couple of days. I really hate this time after the chemo, because I'm exhausted, but I can't sleep and I'm agitated (I think that's from the steroids). I've been going to sleep, but waking up shortly after and tossing and turning through the night. I'd like to take a nap during the day, but I don't seem to be able to go to sleep then either. So I just try to lie down and at least relax for a while. Today I did every bit of organizing I could do sitting in bed watching a movie.

I know this won't last long and I'll be on the upswing again soon, but this just really sucks this time and I felt the need to share.

I'm so glad to be done with this end of my chemo and to feel like I'm on the down side of my treatments. I have twelve more to go, but I really think it will go by much faster, as it will be once a week. Plus I've been told by so many people these next rounds will be easier than the first...I'm counting on this!

Thanks for being here and listening...
