I've been quite tired for the first week after chemo, more so than before but still able to get out for a walk most days. Can't help noticing that I walk at a much slower pace than I used to; I don't like to hold the rest of the family up so I prefer to walk on my own now.
I've also had a sore arm where the chemo was given. Nothing to see (minimal swelling, no redness or heat) so I assume just inflamed, probably from the dacarbazine. This was a bit painful when given this time and last dispite the heat pad. Normally after treatment I put 2 arms that I cut off an old fleece on the treated arm then a jumper over that and keep it on for the rest of the day. I was a hot day this time so I didn't. The soreness lasted a week. I'll keep my arm warm next time and see if I can prevent that happening again.
