I just can't shake the side effects of this last chemo like I used to. Since I got the drugs on Friday of last week, by today I should be feeling OK...but I don't. Yea, I am feeling abit better, but I still get the shakes (due to low blood counts) and just zapped of all energy. I thought that the timing would be good for the Fourth of July weekend, I would have my strength back, be able to do stuff...but I have to take it easy and not overdo it. If I do, then I will be wiped out.
I go into the cancer center later today for a blood draw, to see what all my counts are. I know they will be low, but probably not low enough for any type of transfusion. If I do need some blood, while I would feel better afterward, the process would be a pain...so I can't win.
I am getting more and more impatient with the whole chemo process. I use to never be this impatient. I know I have another round starting on July 10, which will take me up to July 31...but we will stop there and scan the first week of August. Hopefully it will all be worth it, if the scan comes out good, then I can have the month of August and maybe September off....
Oh well, not to be a downer....
