Double UGH

Doctor up and changed my chemo schedule on me: going back to two weeks instead of three. Apparently, we do this so as to keep the tumor guessing. We don't want it to get used to the same ole chemo every three weeks and learn to adapt, you know? So on Friday I got Gemzar and Avastin (plus a couple of pre-meds) and while it was fun not having to be there all day long, I suddenly feel like I've been hit and repeatedly run over by a Mack truck!!! Aches and pains...all because the chemo's doing it's thing. I can handle it. I can adapt. I just haven't felt this way in a quite a long time. I've been quite productive over the weekends lately but this weekend suddenly I've had to slam on the brakes! I get up to do stuff and a half hour later I must collapse on the couch for an hour or so just to regain some energy. I've been sleeping okay in bed at night but I'm still dead tired during the day.

It sort of feels like I'm just starting chemo for the very first time...all over again. Gee, that's fun.

To the sofa I go now...!
