Well it's been a long, tiring, and restless week but I know that I'm now one week closer to the completion of my treatment schedule. I haven't been able to do too much except move between the lounge room and bedroom whilst trying to grab Zzzz's whenever I can. I finally managed to sleep almost the entire night, waking only twice to maintain my water works schedule.
It's funny how the chemotherapy drug gradually kicks in and effects you, as you'd think your body would react to it immediately. For the entire day yesterday (Thurs), I felt so totally drained of energy that a turtle could've beat me in a race. I couldn't even consider going online and updating the blog.
I've been off my food for the last 2 days now and although I know that I'm hungry, it's just not something that I desire like the garbage guts that I usually am. Swallowing food has also started to become a minor issue and items like a dinner roll are now taking me 10 minutes to eat, so very soon that item will be off the menu. At least I haven't been physically sick this week which has been a huge relief.
So the body has the chance to recuperate with the weekend off, and hopefully I'll regain some of my appetite as eating food without the enjoyment of it is a very strange sensation.
