There are some odd things that happen as a result of the chemo. Of course the tiredness hits daily, and that will not go away, but here's an odd one: after about a week, my voice goes husky! Noticed it before but didn't make the connection, then again this last couple of days voice went all husky again!, after the chemo last Friday. Very odd!. Lets see how it goes next cycle .
Have also been getting a lot of pain in the arm again: I think the lesion is either moving a bit, or being affected by the chemo. The pain meds help but it does get you down a bit, and there's not much that can be done, bearing in mind that the bones that were pinned are growing back, and still creating pressure on the radial nerve, which of course creates pain.
I suppose it's one of those moments where I have to accept that this goes with the illness, and that it's a part of the process. In all honesty, it's not unbearable so I can live with it till it reaches some sort of conclusion.
The sudden realisation that you have cancer hits you like a sledgehammer. On 9th February after 2 months of tests and all sorts thats what they told me. In more ways than one it's a life-changing moment and your mind goes into overdrive thinking all kinds of worst case scenarios.
