So shortly after my chemo #4 post nausea slowly crept up on me. I took one of the nausea pills prescribed by my onc and it gave me an awful headache. I finally was able to fall asleep and felt much better in the morning. When I woke up my face was really hot and red but the rest of me was cold which was very frustrating. I needed blankets to keep me warm but my face just got hotter- Ugh!
We got a new puppy almost 3 weeks ago and when we finally were able to get a vet appointment they told us she had scabies. It's basically a mite that chews up the puppy and leaves her with really scaly, dry skin. Humans can get scabies too although it's not the same as the dog scabies. I ended up with a rash under my boobs but above my stomach(diaphragm area). At first it was just some bumps and minor itching but is now very, very red and itches occasionally.
This evening I kept getting really light headed and couldn't stand up for long. I think I wasn't staying hydrated enough and just not allowing myself to take it easy. I'm trying to get the last minute stuff done for our Halloween costumes but it just seems impossible. I'm so worn down and I'm kind of afraid to admit it. I'm tired. Physically, emotionally just exhausted. I need to realize it's okay to rest and recouporate after getting my treatment. I need to listen to my body more. It's okay to rest- that doesn't mean I'm letting cancer beat me.
Peace. Love. Fuck cancer
