Pretty bad day yesterday. Again today. I got up this morning thinking I felt better and David gave me a ride to work. I had to call him several hours later to come back and get me. Diarrhea, fatigue, lightheadedness, weakness, aching gut. I thought I might pass out on the toilet in the bathroom at work. I haven't even tried to work from home. Just sleeping. Reading a little.
I had a lovely long note from M, back from FL, who reminded me that I do start this chemo cycle much more compromised than the first 3 cycles. I know that. It's still hard. I want there to be something I can DO to feel better - rest (I've done that, lots of that over the past 72 hours), change what I eat (I've done that, too), not eat (I've done that too), drink lots of fluids (I've done that). I guess it's just about patience, letting my body come back to itself, heal and gradually strengthen.
Maybe tomorrow will be better. If not, it's going to be a long 6 weeks until this is all over with (God willing).
Praying for V's family in Chile and all those going through the devastation there.
Peace.
