CHEMO II DAY 68

Fight when it feels the worst

Tuesday and after a bad night I feel wrung out before I start the day. My partner has gone to work, so I get up and make breakfast. My injection site is sore, bloody sore and I feel like shit. I try to do bits and pieces of domestic chores but I just feel worse. I am not happy and down a couple of paracetamol. I potter about, drink soup and watch TV. The day drags into evening, athletics, football and finally drafting the blog before I go to bed having taken my night meds and more paracetamol. Usually when I have my jab in the morning the side effects kick in during the evening, having had my jab in the late afternoon seems to mean that I get the side effects the following morning and day. Thankfully I’ve booked my next injection for the early morning. Tomorrow is another chance.

Its been one of those days, I guess we all have them.
