Dear Chemo, you suck.

I definitely jumped the gun on posting my chemo blog. It was Saturday morning when I posted it, 2 days post chemo and I was feeling ok. Just tired and achy nothing major… I was thinking I got this, no biggie. HA! Saturday evening rolled around and about 6pm it hit me hard… Pain Pain Pain everything hurt. Thankfully I had some pain pills from my port surgery that I didn’t use so I was able to get a bit of relief… it got worse all night and peaked around 7am on Sunday October 19^th. I can’t even explain the pain, it was from head to toe, everything hurt, my entire body was in excruciating pain, I have never felt pain like this before, 2 births, gallbladder attacks and double mastectomy combined doesn’t come close to this pain.  I do remember asking Jon if I could get an epidural Sunday morning. I was not a happy camper Sunday, pretty miserable all day. I’m feeling better today, still exhausted but just achy again now not in pain thank god. I’m going to see the doctor tomorrow for follow-up and I will request some pain meds for the next chemo to get prepared for this pain again. I’m not looking forward to the next treatment.

I chopped my hair off today. I’ve already started shedding…

We celebrated Tyson’s 6^th Birthday yesterday afternoon. We were going to do it at grandma’s house but I couldn’t handle the drive so the family came over to our house. We had pizza and cake and Tyson opened some presents. He was happy.
