I realized that I prefer having my chemo on Wednesday as it lets me work a normal work schedule. Yesterday was a tough day as it is normally the day when I rest. Today I was fatigued as well, but it was not too bad and was bearable. I frequent some cancer forums because I…
Today is my first really bad day that I have had, and I realized it is ok. I was annoyed at first, but this is my 5th day, the Sunday when I am normally out completely. It bugged me because I tried to work, but physically struggled. I could not keep my eyes open and…
