My chemo cycle is two weeks on and one week off but because of Canada Day, my last treatment was two weeks ago. The break left me feeling pretty good … I dare say almost normal. So when D and I pulled up to the clinic it was like ugg, here we go again. I quickly snapped myself out of that “woe is me” feeling when I thought of how limited my options really are. I figured that I better be happy while I’m still able to receive treatment.
As usual, things went really well. My dose of Vinorelbine gives minor side effects … a tiny bit of nausea and some dizziness. I liken it to having a stiff drink but not in a good way. I ended the day feeling pretty good and fell asleep shortly after my head hit the pillow.
I woke up a couple of times during the nite feeling hot and sweaty. I think the house is a little on the warm side from the weather we are having.
Woke up this morning feeling a bit slow but overall really good after coffee.

You are a strong woman to be able to "snap yourself out of it". I've found I need to take an Ativan before every chemo. A little bit for anxiety, but more so for the nausea that starts on the drive to chemo. I'm beginning to really hate being there. *sigh* But you are right--what's the alternative?
Glad you felt ok today--hope it continues for you!
Good for you sweetie, it is rough having to take treatment but there are so many that are unable to have it and I am glad you see that.
Sound like it is going pretty well, I only wish you didn't need the treatment but one day at a time my friend.
It was 40 on my back deck this afternoon, the sun falls directly on it and it was lovely, of course I had a cold pineapple cooler...
Have a great Sunday.....:-) Hugs
How many more treatments do you have? Wishing you the best!
Whidbey Woman ... I have to be on some sort of treatment for the rest of my life.
