Today is generally the worst day of the cycle and I’m not feeling too too bad. I’m not as agitated, frustrated and moody as I usually am. I am however quite sensitive to light and sound. It feels like D is talking much loader than necessary and the TV well ... it’s definitely too loud. It’s like the senses are all amplified. Quiet and dark seems to be the most soothing for me right now.
I always struggle with stuffiness, tho I don’t have the intense nasal headaches this time. I’ve had only one nose bleed so far.
The sleeps are a different story ... intense dreams Thursday night and nightmares last night. I woke up this morning feeling like I’ve been hit by a freight truck. I expect at least one more rough sleep tonight and then things should start improving. Fingers crossed!
I had a banana, coffee and yogurt for breakfast. That combination gave me intense stomach pains ... indigestion. I took a Metoclopramide which works like a charm, relief came pretty quick.
My goal as usual during this time is to get through the weekend.

Hang in there, Daria! Just try to get through one day at a time, that's what I kept telling myself when I was in the midst of chemo. And hold on to your faith -- real tight! It'll keep you afloat!
