For those who know me, since finishing my Cancer treatments, I have had Chest Infection which I thought was getting clear, but still left with a bad cough and wrenching to the point of vomiting. I feel so, so tired, totally drained and weak and just feel things are not getting any better. Don't know if it is getting rid of all the chemicals in my body, getting used to new medications also as well as overcoming the heavy treatments since April. I am still very pale, bloods came back clear. My reconstruction to my left breast seems to be ok and I can feel it starting to take shape inside as muscles develop. I just cannot seem to get much energy at all and been getting plenty of rest. My heart seems to beat a lot faster these days when I try to do anything and I am getting a bit breathless, but my lungs seem clear and no pneumonia. The Silent Reflux is so frustrating and I have to sleep half up as petrified in case I choke on coughing bout.
Not able to eat much either and although I am hungry I am vomiting more since treatments finished. Do take the Domperindone. I just cannot figure out why I am so much worse now and thought I was to feel better, which is just not happening.
I just want me back.......................... I know things take time etc, but has anyone else gone through what I am feeling and is it perfectly normal?
If anyone bumps into Santa, could you ask him to drop off some energy, strength and Oomph please.
