Exhausted...
..I didn't think it was possible to be MORE tired then when I was pregnant. But I am. I am beyond tired. Last night I just sat and cried because I couldn't go to bed until my son was asleep. I felt completely overwhelmed physically and emotionally. I got a good night's sleep and yet it is early and my body wants even more sleep. My body aches. Yesterday at work I had to sit on my office floor and do some stretches just to try to relieve some of the pain. It has been an interesting road. The headaches will hopefully subside, as I talked to Tracy - Dr. Hammond's nurse - yesterday and she said the anti-neausau drugs can cause headaches. Today is my last day on them. I have not had any real neausau. My appetite is either non-existent or I am ravenous beyond comprehension!!! I have abdominal cramps and pains and I just feel like hell. There - that's it in a nut shell I guess. This too shall pass....I've got the weekend to recuperate a bit before it's back to work on Monday. I hope I'm keeping my complaints to a minimum because I don't want to drive anyone crazy at work. I'm not sure if I'm much of a complainer. lol. Thanks for listening.

Hi Doris,
I don't know if you remember me, we worked togther eons ago at SIG. I ran into Nora the other day and she told me your diagnosis and about your blog. My husband has just finished his 6 chemo treatments so although I can't tell you I understand what you are going through, I can tell you that you are a mighty spirit and will conquer this and anything else. Your son is blessed to have a mother like you. Keep your sense of humor and keep this blog going. It's extremely insightful. All my best and my prayers to you. Laura Burgess
