Side effects suck. Sorry, but they do.

Let's see....nose bleeds....dry skin...headaches....tired...tired...tired.

This time they are all sticking around whereas in the past they were gone in about 2 weeks.
Final treatment is next Tuesday. Then I will work to bounce back.

I have a follow up with Dr. Hammond tomorrow to have bloodwork done. I'll have him check out my chest (yes chest, not breasts) because there is a red patch on my skin where the VAD port was beneath it. The area is very warm and the tissue is hard - almost feels as though the catheter is still in there. So of course (knowing my luck) I am assuming there is something wrong.

I am depressed lately. I think the side effects are taking their toll on me. Just anxious to get past this.

Thanks for checking in.
