Had my 2nd chemo last Thursday and all was going great. The next day I was full of energy but rested, not silly to go mad. The main problem is my stomach, I hate the steroids, I've put 10lbs on and look 9 months pregnant! This is affecting my breathing and sleeping which is beginning to get me down now (as I'm sat here writing this at 2.40am).
I do wonder what awaits me next, compared to last cycle this is easier, I'm feeling shit but not as bad as before. My back aches and neck so sleeping is uncomfortable and I can feel the air in my throat where my lungs are crushed by the bloating in my stomach.
On a brighter note, when I saw my oncologist last week and she measured by tumour it had shrunk!!!! So all this shitty feeling, what I went through last cycle is paying off
