Chemo Sucks.....

......but naps are good. I can't seem to make it through the day without one or two "time-outs" on the bed. Falling asleep never felt so good....why do children fight it?

This round of chemo made me very, very tired. I did spend the weekend asleep most of the time or staring off into space. Eddy set up a couch outside on the deck for me so I could enjoy the outdoors while resting. I love being able to watch the birds flying overhead and the wind in the trees.

I've decided not to wear the wig, hats or scarves. Bald is fine with me and Eddy doesn't seem to mind. People aren't looking at me (well, at least when I am looking) and there haven't been any funny comments, so I will continue going "topless".

Time for bed.

I recently finished 6 chemo treatments and can relate to your experiences and feelings.
I found family, friends, exercise and my therapy kitten, Ginger to help so much!!

Hi Cheryl-
I was running errands today and my iPod shuffled to "I Run For Life" by Melissa Etheridge. I sniffled my way through and wanted to send you a link that I found on Melissa... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZKSzpMrr3Y&feature=related
