Had the first dose of my second round last week. Was really tired for a couple of days after. However I'm on holiday this week and suddenly today I've been in a really odd mood. Is this a result of treatment or am I just being a miserable so and so. Need to snap out of it PDQ really.
Hi Dragonfire (what a great name choice!) I think the stress of a cancer diagnosis and the effects of on-going treatment are exhausting. Certainly flattened me at the start. Tired people often feel low. Brilliant that you are getting a holiday and if you are in the UK luckily the sun will be shining on you today. Wherever you are I hope you can treat yourself kindly, you have dealt with tough time and still standing so that makes you a hero in my book. Rest, relax, give yourself treats. Sending love Hx
