Same ole same ole. Every wednesday we have our radiation doctor check up day. Nothing new to report. Starting to have the side effects of a sore throat on top of everything else from Monday. Still having all the same stuff from the weekend.
My overall feeling is extreme exhaustion. I finally think the whole brain radiation side effects have started. (they last for months) Then add the current radiation, and we have quite the party. Ive been too tired to really move from my recliner the past few days. So tired that even moving to pull my arm out of the sleeve of my sweater is too much to do. This morning I woke with more energy though. Still exhausted, but Ill take the improvement. Im not steady on my feet anymore, so I still need help with some basics.
I started a new med yesterday. Type of chemo but not chemo. Really confusing when they put it that way. It has all the side effects of chemo (according to the box) but they dont consider it 'official chemo. Good news is, I take it at home in pill form. Crappy part is they wanted me at home for a few days till they knew how it would react with me. Other than my normal stuff going on its really hard to say. I mean come on...my brain/body is kinda riddled with cancer and beat to a pulp. Its hard to say what the heck causes exactly what. :) I do find this amusing. Like I said the other day "yep you have cancer" lol.
So there is my update. Nothing really new other than being really tired. This week is going to be a serious recoup week for me. Loads of sitting, napping and trying to take it easy.
