It’s good to have this week behind me, literally that is! This week hasn’t been as smooth as it was during my 1st cycle of chemotherapy. Having a week off to let my body rest up was a nice break. Now that my second chemo cycle has started this week, all the medications are starting to catch up with me a bit. My anemia has gotten a little worse, now I find myself short winded when walking up a long flight of stairs, followed by a dizzy light headed feeling; I’ve come close to fainting at times. I’m also starting to have some tough nights due to an upset stomach followed by a round robin between diarrhea and constipation.
I think it’s important to maintain a solid positive attitude throughout this entire procedure. I’ve chosen to focus on the good that the medicines are doing and look forward to the end results of the treatments. I’m very optimistic about my outcome at the end of all of this, someone once said, “It’s better to focus on the donut rather than the hole”.
Cheers...Chemo Ken
