The Friday After #4

Matt took me to work Friday, just in case I got sick or something and couldn't drive back home.  I really thought that the blood transfusion was going to help me feel better.  I had a headache all day and felt queasy.  I barely made it. 

He picked me up at 3:15 to head over to the clinic for my shot.  We were in and out fairly quickly and I just wanted to go home, put my pj's on and lay down.  Which I did.  I got up around 7:00 and lounged on the couch with hubby until midnight. 

The ton of pills I have to take! Yuck.

I'm kinda thinking that Friday's will now be added to the list of days off after chemo.  As much as I want to be at work and keep caught up and not exhaust my leave days, it so isn't worth it.

  1. Hi, Carol -

    Your blog brings back some pretty recent memories for me. Looks like you are having 6 rounds of chemo like I did. By rounds 4 - 6, I was really exhausted. I would have my chemo on Wed and would crash and burn Fri, Sat and Sun. Basically just lounging around in PJs and barely moving. I was also getting a Neulasta injection which caused me a lot of pain and flu like symptoms. I did not do Neulasta after rounds 5 and 6 and that definitely helped me get through them.

    Best of luck to you. You can do this!!!!
