Second chemo was on March 6, Thursday. My chemo girlfriend and I did it together again. It was her last session! (I should call it celebration or graduation.) She has been my mentor for the treatment and I feel positive and optimistic, thanks to her great advise.
Unlike last time, it hit me sooner and longer. I started to feel tired and fatigue in the afternoon as soon as I got home on Thursday. I slept all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I was more active on Sunday as I went to walk the trail for about 1 hour to get some fresh air . It was a beautiful day. Today(Monday) I'm back to work. My head is a bit foggy and not too sharp but durable. I will need to build more strength until next session.
About Me
- beagledumbo
- San Jose, CA, United States
- I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks before my 34th birthday. I had mastectomy and chemotherapy (also egg freezing) from December 2007 through May 2008. So far my subsequent check-ups continue to say I'm cancer-free. Of course, once you've had cancer, you don't feel like you are fully free of it--but life goes on, sometimes even better than before!
