Kezzerbird......trying to stay awake

Less than one minute read time.

Hello my lovely mates out there in Macland...just to say that my chemo seems to have kicked in all of a sudden and I am finding it hard to even stay awake at the moment, but the way I look at it is, that if I feel like crap, then so does my cancer, it is getting its butt kicked again and I need all the beauty sleep I can get, believe me!!!!! It is two and a half years in with cancer and the bird keeps on fighting, no matter what, so any one who is having a rough time at the moment, the bird is fighting right along side you. Love and hugs to those who want them....Carol xx

  • Don't fight the sleep fairy... go with the flow and remember your body has more chance to heal when you're asleep. Sending positive vibes.

    Chemo is cumulative so after every dose the effect gets stronger but you are right - it is working. I had a mate who, when asked how he was would say "struggling!" He said it was when you stopped struggling was when it's over. I don't have to tell you to pick yourself up, dust youself off and go for it, but I will anyway. Let it run its course - sleep if you want to - go clubbing if you want to - and now the weather is getting warmer, take your vest off and enjoy your garden!

    Keep smiling,

    love

    I never thought of it that way.  John has been feeling like crap this time round so let's hope his cancer feels the same way.  

    Don't fight the sleepy feeling - lie back and relax and let the chemo do its work.  

    You sound like a lovely positive lady.  I've seen a lot of your posts on this site and they have always been encouraging.

    *hugs* to you.

    Hi Carol

    Chemo is hard on your cancer but is also hard on your body.

    Sometimes all I want to do is sleep and/or do nothing  but that's fine you need your rest to fight!!

    Also if your platlets or red blood cells are a bit low this may add on to your tiredness.

    So have your rest, and take a nap if you feel like it.

    Take it easy and feel better !
