I am 11 days post final chemo, I have done the last of the Filgrastim injections. I am still tired but each day gets better. Sleep is starting to increase and my digestive tract is starting to settle. I am exercising every day, my loss of condition on the stationary bike is the most apparent, now more than ever I need to ‘run at it shouting’.
I am sure that a combination of all of these helped to get me through the chemo, I thought it might be fun to see in lists and pictures!!
Side effects ( in no particular order and thankfully not all at once)
Fatigue, Nausea, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Dry Eyes, Mouth Ulcers, dry skin, muscle aches, bone aches, runny nose, hair loss, hair thinning, loss/increased appetite, Insomnia, mucositis, silent reflux, diminished concentration, Changes to taste (food tasted weird), thermoregulation issues, hormonal changes….
And I got off lightly!
And in pictures….
This is you dear reader, you are the ?, you helped me through this, you read my words, you discussed with me, you shared my posts, you sent us love.
