Thanks for the info & help; This week was wild. Monday I felt dizzy when I went in & my blood pressure was 82/43. After a liter of fluid it didn't come up, so I was sent to ER where I received 2 more liters of fluid & other stuff to get my pressure up. Now I have eliminated Cozaar as one of my blood pressure pills. I still take metoprolol, but they are wanting me to check with internist if I could cut in half or eliminate as necessary. I was so wiped out that day so they skipped radiation. Tuesday it seemed like I was on the table forever and getting an anxiety attach. I now know that that is the day the doctors go over placement and it could be longer, so will need to psych myself up or take a half xanax.
Wednesday there was trouble with the computer not working right so it was also a longer day on the table which I didn't expect. Thursday was fine, I just for lost in the shuffle for a while, which was OK I was being well entertained in the waiting room. Today was taken care of before I could sit and out fast. This is the first time I have a 2 day break before back for radiation on Monday. Wow, Excitement.
My next inpatient chemo has been set for March 15. What has experience been with anyone? Does it get worse with the second, and third chemo, considering there is constant radiation to be reckoned with? Or do you manage to bounce back a little? This is the first day I haven't felt like sleeping all day. Not that I want to do anything crazy like clean my house or organize the kitchen, but it's nice to just get online for a little bit and be able to think clearly. I've been feeling pretty low energy and fragile lately, and don't want that to last long. I'd rather think good thoughts. Even the little sunshine we've had the last couple of days have been a nice touch.
Thank you all for being here, and I hope I can soon return these words of wisdom and hope to others soon.
