Hi there,
Two weeks ago today had my first dose of taxotere. Have never felt so down in the dumps since I was diagnosed. The joint pain was bearable until I started on the GCSF injections to boost my white cell count. Then with the side effects from that added to chemo pain I know feel like an old crock. I was really hoping that I would be feeling better by now and already counting down the days to my next dose in 7 days time. The tips of my fingers are tingling but my nails still look ok. Have painted them with dark red nail varnish today. Hope I haven't left it too late. Just couldn't muster the energy or enthusiasm to do it earlier.
I've also had cronic back pain which I think is just from lying in bed so long. I've got a lovely new electric chair now and it's really helping. My hair has started to grow back and I've got a white fuzz on top of my head. Hope it doesn't start to fall out again. Can't wait for it to grow properly! Feel I'm being a right old grump and very sorry for myself. Hope this doesn't happen with each cycle, I'm usually so positive and can't wait to get up and go, but this time I'm just happy to sit in my chair and do nothing.
Oh well, the weekend is coming and hubby will be home in the day time, perhaps he'll be able to drag me out of my misery! Hope I have depressed everyone! LOL, I'll try and be a bit more cheerful next time.
Take care all xxx
