Yep, the title says it all :(
Was still feeling bad (tummy aches and running mouth) so broke down and went to the doc (yes, I am stubborn.) Blood tests were all okay. Was not dehydrated, which even I can't understand seeing how much I seem to spit out. Doc prescribed a couple of new meds, one to increase my appetite and the other to hopefully decrease the running mouth problem. Well so far I am eating a bit better but my mouth just doesn't seem to want to quit running. Really tired of spitting into a waste can or swallowing it. Gross, I know but what can I say. Cancer sucks! Just can't seem to get a break.
Not sleeping very good either. Take an Ambien CR and a Tylenol PM and still wake up most nights around 3-4am and take awhile to fall back asleep.
I am really starting to get discouraged. Been off of chemo for almost 7 weeks now and still am not feeling any better. Thought my body would recover better than this.
So sick and tired of being sick and tired :( Common complaint from cancer victims but still true. All I wish for at this point is ONE day where I don't hurt or feel so dog tired. Heck, I would settle for 8 hours.
Well, body says time for a rest. I will lay down for awhile and see what happens.
Take care!

It takes time Kim .. once you get to eating better you will be feeling better ... just take one day at a time and stay positive and dont be so hard on yourself .. I can not imagine how you are feeling so I cant just say you will be ok.. as I have never been in your situation so I really dont know I just hope that you get better soon.... Miss you alot and think about you daily..

Hey Kim..I know its tough but chemo is cumlative and takes the body a long time to regroup from it. Plus you had a massive surgery on prior to it. Your no victim but a survivor of a lot..So don't be so hard on yourself give yourself the right to heal and regroup for now. Its really frustrating I can relate. But cancer is tough on the body and fighting back sometimes is even tougher. Hang in there..Kerry
