From going through chemo fairly smoothly I am now walking around like a drunk, dropping things and feeling very unsteady and depressed. My memory is terrible and I cannot hold things as before as my hands cramp up and the hand looks as though it has got arthritis in it. Had a bad reaction to the last lot of chemo and I am wondering if this has been the cause.
Still only one more chemo to go and then a scan a week after. This is quick so hopefully it will mean things as all over with and I can get back to a normal life.
Oh for a proper holiday but cant sort out insurance etc until I know the results of my scan.
Fingers crossed!
