I'm supposed to journal my side-effects and symptoms, so I'm going to list some here. This won't happen all the time, but I'm trying to give all of my lovely followers something to go off of.
Here's a picture of my "symptom journal"
Pretty basic. I had my "fill" yesterday and I got evened out (finally). My breasts have been lopsided for about a month now. It feels a bit more normal.
I will say, I feel like a ticking time bomb. I'm just waiting for all of these horrible side effects to start. I'm sure they will at some point. The sneezing, exhaustion, headache, and nausea aren't exactly a picnic, but for some reason, I feel like I'm walking around with a sign that says "Hey--did you know I had chemotherapy on thursday? check me out!" So weird.
I stopped into my old work, the YMCA, yesterday. Saw my old boss--shout out to Claudia! She gave me a great care package, and if I'm not soft and comfy after what she gave me, then I never will be.
Also, the Y gave me an awesome gift. I'm not sure how working out will be during chemo, but their gift has allowed me to continue to do that without worry (if I'm up to it). Even if I just stop in and walk on the track/treadmill for 30 minutes while Marie plays in kiddie country, It will be nice. Troy has said he wants to get back in the swing of things for a while, too.
I'm stocking up on thank you notes, so don't worry everyone, they will come.
I love you all--friends, family, supporters, etc.
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteHealthline just designed a virtual guide of the effects of chemotherapy on the body. You can see the infographic here: http://www.healthline.com/health/cancer/effects-on-body
This is valuable med-reviewed information that can help a person understand the side effects they are experiencing from their chemo treatment. I thought this would be of interest to your audience, and I’m writing to see if you would include this as a resource on your page: http://cancersucks120.blogspot.com/2013/01/chemo-real-deal.html
If you do not believe this would be a good fit for a resource on your site, even sharing this on your social communities would be a great alternative to help get the word out.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review. Please let me know your thoughts and if I can answer any questions for you.
All the best,
