Fatigue

I haven’t posted since Good Friday mainly because of fatigue! If you will remember, I had 1 session of chemo before Easter and immediately after Easter on Monday, I had my second session…that is where it sent in. After the 3rd session on Thursday I was what I would call full blown FATIGUED! I am not really looking forward to Monday. It is my last session of this round of chemo, but I do have both meds…Valcade and Doxil (sp), and I expect to have my butt kicked…but that is OK, as long as the meds are kicking the mm’s butt! By the way, “mm” is short for multi-myeloma.

I will let you guys know how it goes. I am going to ask my doctor about this fatigue. I am looking forward to my 10 days off. My 3 rd round, 1st session of chemo will start on April 30th. Keep up the prayers and good thoughts. I am losing a little steam, but all the kinds words, prayers and thoughts are keeping my head above water, so to speak.

I love you all!

  1. T,
    I hate fatigue, especially when we are so use to having energy. We did take that for granted didn't we. We summoned energy to Go, Do, Be, and there it was; ready at our beck and call. It will return, I'm sure of it. Maybe not the youthful energy of the past but just enough energy to measure on a ruler - I think that's in eights - I don't have a ruler anymore. Stay optimistic and hopeful and I will too.

  2. Thanks Lil! And by the way, being to "old sign pedler" that I use to be...a ruler does have 1/8s, but it also have 1/16's and cm! I love the idea of just getting enough ehergy to measure up to my 6 inch ruler. I think that would be great!
