Maria, my parents and even my friend Patti Anne told me they think it's related to me trying to do too much too soon after my last treatment. They are probably right. We've been having our bathroom remodeled and last week I was running lots of errands and was in and out of multiple stores each day. On Saturday, we went to the zoo, then to dinner, and then out with friends to celebrate my earning of an Associate degree. On Sunday we attended my father-in-law's birthday party, then later that night and the next morning I painted our bathroom. Again, I felt like crap at some point each day. The last day or two I've been trying to take it easy and relax because I want to make sure I get my 2nd to last chemotherapy treatment tomorrow. I'm going to tell Julie, the nurse practitioner, how I've been feeling to see if she is concerned about it. I think its probably a combination of the cold yucky weather, running myself ragged, and maybe even a low white blood cell count.
I'm really looking forward to being done with chemotherapy. Although I was initially scared of getting radiation treatments, at this point, I'm OK with it and almost welcome the change. Although I know there are people having to go through worse chemotherapy treatments than the type I receive, this hasn't been a walk on the beach for me and the end cannot come soon enough.
