Round 4 of EC was on Wednesday 28/3. Following day was not bad, touch of heartburn Friday and Saturday however, by Sunday steroids had finished and felt awful. Meltdown once again (however, think I am managing them slightly better now), just felt so, so tired and no energy once again. Spent most of Sunday and Monday laid up on settee sleeping on and off. Tuesday DH back to work and tried to do some housework but again no energy and just took ages doing the slightest thing.
To top it all my darling Honey (cat) was not well all over Easter and I know she has kidney disease and think the end is very near now. We wanted and hoped she would die peacefully at home but this is not going to happen in all reality and called vet with appt for Wednesday. This has not helped with emotions that are really running high at the moment (both Honey and chemo not a good mix).
Still have bad taste in mouth and have been very achy this time, started around the weekend and still aches and pains by Friday (6/4).
My darling Honey has now gone for the long sleep. She is at peace now and not suffering however, I am distraught. She has been good company while off work and always talked to her but I know it was for the best and if left any longer it would have been selfish off me. Doesn’t help with the hurting though.
Am trying some pineapple today as it has been recommended on forum so will see how that goes.
Been to supermarket today with DH and still no energy levels to speak off and ended up with raging backache, couldn’t wait to get home.
SE are slowly going but it is the energy levels I can’t cope with. They have definitely got worse after each chemo session. Just walking up the stairs I end up puffing and panting and having to sit on the bed to get my breathe!!!
So, my last EC was #4 and now have 3 sessions of the ‘T’ to look forward to, absolutely dreading it!!!
