I am not a whiny, needy wench, but this new chemo/Immunotherapy treatment is starting to really kick my ass..fatigue is really set in, and since my lucocytes are a bit low, they've add Nulastra , so now my bones are aching..
It's still worth all of it..
Ok whining done..ty for reading..
Hugs! and enjoy naps as much as possible!

                                        I do, honestly though, they don't help. It's chemo induced fatigue..
@Charlene sometimes "unconscious'' is lovely.......
@AnneWimsey indeed..here's a weird thing..I felt like I was speeding after getting into bed..felt like I lay awake for hours,with brain on overdrive..ugh..
@Charlene Ugh indeed! in fact Double Ugh!
Keep whining. That is partly what support teams are for. See also @Jolanta's comment.

                                        Just because it's worth it doesn't mean it's not an awful, horrible, kick-ass process to go through, and people should be working really hard to find a less devastating treatment. As glad as I am that chemo exists, I'm so sorry you have to go through it.
You are entitled to yell and shout and whine as much as your energy will permit. We're here (someone is always here) and we can take it.

                                        I am so sorry you're suffering like this! Please feel free to talk about it. We're here for you. My best friend is going through chemo right now, and in the beginning, they hit you with all they've got. It hopefully gets better as the infusions get weaker. Right now, if you can eat, make sure you keep your strength up.

                                        Sounds like my brother-in-law. He reckons he knew chemo was ghastly, but didn't realise how ghastly and strength-sapping it was. A year ago he was winning extreme running events, and ranking in the top 3 Spanish "veterans" table. Now he hardly has the energy to carry a bucket of water. I really commiserate.

                                        Hang in there kiddo, I assumed this was what the hair stuff was all about.
Cancer sucks, I had a bit of skin cancer a couple of years ago, but I was lucky and it went away first treatment, but still had to do some chemical, non-nuke chemo and I thought it was going to destroy me.
I hope you have a good social support system backing you honey, everyone deserves at least that.

                                        The week after infusions is the worst, hopefully it won't last longer. Thanks Len, I just needed to vent a bitβ€
