Well I had my first chemo session today. I didn’t sleep at all last night out of being so anxious. Well I tell you that the today has probably been the absolute worst day of my life. I can honestly say I might actually mean those words. I felt as if millions of nano-bots were invading my body the minute they released the chemo into my system. Yes this could all be in my head but I will never forget the way my body felt it seemed more than real! It felt like I was traveling through my body with the medicine of chemo. I was in so much pain and so sick that I could not eat, drink, sleep or even function in the slightest. I feel awful that I don't have the energy to play with my daughter or even pick her up!
I have another session tomorrow and I think I may just talk to my doctor. Fingers crossed this subsides!!
