Day 2 after Chemo #3 (EC) - feeling pretty good

From some posts I’ve seen, just like me if you know you have to have chemo it’s pretty scary! So, I thought I would write a blog about my good / bad days. Plus this should encourage me to come to this site more, as it is truly helpful- wish I had engaged sooner.

• Day 2 after EC chemo #3
  • last night I was up late - funny old feeling, I know I am tired but just can’t sleep - but I have learnt not to fight it or worry about it, just go with the flow 
  • And there you go this morning I’m feeling good, about to go for some porridge I think, add in a banana (potassium) and some syrup  
  • challenges I set myself for today
    • get parcel ready for posting
    • possibly help prep veggies for dinner - if allowed, was banned from kitchen knives after chemo #1 apparently good intentions are some times more of a pain to others than just letting them look after you
    • oh, shower and 10 min walk with dog - on my own..
    • see if I can get my tablets right today - fingers crossed  
    • and that’s it, if I do those things anything else is a bonus
• Day 1 after EC chemo #3
  • felt a bit “yucky” - but managed to get up and shower in the morning - good for me - I celebrate that as a small success! 
  • Porridge for breakfast, panini for lunch and chicken stir fry with rice for tea (all with tablets!) - but for me no let down on the side of not eating 
  • was pretry slow most of the day, but mobile then gave myself my injection 24 hours after chemo and suddenly the “yucky” feeling goes away! YEH
  • even went out for slow walk with dog and hubby!!
