Last night when I went to bed, rather early for me, I felt so very tired. I was more tired than usual and I thought, oh, here goes! Because, it seems the side effects start coming on hard the last 2 days of the week I have had this new chemo.
So, this morning when I woke up it was even worse. I actually woke up about 3:30 AM and could not sleep after that even though I was extremely fatigued. AS to my legs, they were very numb but no real pain. And, I could also detect a small whistle sound in my chest when I was breathing in a certain position. Hm.!
I did get up but was so extremely fatigued, I could hardly do what I had to but was very hungry and thirsty too.
I rested all morning and thought about the funeral going on at our church of our very dear friend and that we couldn't go. But, at this point, you can just do what you can.
I thought this AM that if "quality of life" is like this, for the chemo side effects, is it worth it? I actually always think that at some point when I am so tired I can hardly move.
Anyway, meanwhile, I know that tomorrow is a new day. That tomorrow will hold more hope than today did as far as side effects.
What I am thinking is that I am so tired because my platelets have gone way down and I won't even be able to have chemo on Monday....just sayin':):):)
So, the other thing is, this bottle of Lynparza (olaparib) came in the mail yesterday which was really doubtful I might be able to qualify for it. It is a very expensive chemo pill that retards the DNA growth or kills it or something like that in the cancer cells. It is used on certain cancer cells so I guess my doc wants to try it on me and see if it "works".....I guess I have the "right" kind of cancer cells(?)
Now, I am all for this sort of stuff if it doesn't produce side effects that make me sick, weak, crazy or whatever. Or, even cause death😃
So, without further adieu, I will go take another nap and maybe wake up all better in a few hours.👍
