Scan
showed not a scar tissue or recurrence; a small cluster of dead cells;
keeping eye on it. Hopefully it may disappear. Now for physiotherapy
next week for my arm. But got booked in for some pampering and
reflexology sessions also. Yippee.
Sat 26th Feb 2011: Struggling!!!! Can't
seem to put on weight, daughters and family very scared and commented
on how pale I am looking. Youngest never seen me so thin. Sleep still
all over the place, carers have difficulty wakening me also, hubby
leaves me to sleep when I get to sleep. Daily structure = have none re
all this upheaval!!! Spoke to Breast Care Nurse and advised to get a
blood test on Monday morning. Getting a bit worried myself, just wish I
could put some weight on. Always had difficulty putting this on, used
to feel complimented when others would get jealous of me and my figure,
now becoming more thinner each day and hate it. Part of me saying its
just the process, another part of me saying I should be getting better.
Yet another part saying I can't do anything about it, just got to go
with the flow of all this chemical fatigue. Tries almost everything in
the book to help with sleeping, structure of a day, eating etc, but
nothing happening!!!!!!
I know I am still healing a lot, but everything is even more so of an effort every day. I put on a smile, great me eh????

hi hun
so sorry you are feeling like this i know the problem with the sleeping even the tabs dont seem to work well for about 2 hours then im pinging awake again oh just to have a good full nights sleep would be marvellous think the more you worry the worse it gets will be thinking of you and hope you feel much better soon
Hi, sorry you are feeling so crap, it remind me of when i was trying to put on weight just before i started chemo. I was eating loads of chocolate and cake, then i went to a breast care meeting and they told me chemo makes you put on weight!!! I never knew that and still cant shift the excess weight.
At least on the nurses round you are taking you seriously and giving you a blood test. I truley hope you feel better soon. They do say chemo can take up to 2 years to stay in your body but dont know when your last session was.
undesturbed nights sleep. I keep waking up every 2 hrs. Taking my pills and thats me for the night I get up and make a cuppa, watch T.V. Then spend all day yawning. go to bed at ten and away we go again
having said that I dont take sleeping pills too addictive. So its been my choice take Sleeping pills or a cuppa tea, Ive opted for the latter.
Anyway Carrot hope you start puttin on the weight
which Im sure will happen. Knowing you Lets hope its a hiccup. Look after yourself.
