Hello Linda,

Thank you for thinking of me and checking in. I'm so sorry to hear your not feeling well . I have not been feeling to well either. I'm still not smoking. It has not really bothered me too much. Im still here waiting on the benefits. I have not felt better yet from quitting. It won't make me go back though. 

I think I feel worse after the radiation. I know I needed it for the cancer but its really set me back health wise. 

What you are going through sounds horrible as well. I hope you feel better soon. We just gave to rest and try to heal and push through these rough spots. 

Fatigue is so different from "I'm  tired" the type of tired where you nap & wake up feeling well & strong again, that doesn't happen with medically induced fatigue. I'm always fatigued by anemia too.  I just had an iron infusion & I still can't get off the bed without feeling so drained like I've already accomplished my day. I'm not accomplishing many days lately! 

We all just went thru that freaky norovirus in this house. Thank you small school children.  It wiped out 3/4 of K to grade 4 classes here. Stay away from those rubbing there tummy or saying I feel like I might puke! Trust me when I say you "may see your toenails or even turn inside out with dry heaves after the toenails"... it is a  bad one, and yes, we got our flu shots.. This started Feb.23 & we are now back to normal, as normal is anyways.  Hand sanitizer apparently won't kill it, plenty of hot soapy water required. Bed rest. Please don't share it. 

I need to get myself going,  as I need to get my Grand from school today. But Chelly, You ARE are so STRONG!! Don't be discouraged by needing extra rest. Your bodies going thru a lot right now & it needs your cooperation to get there. 

🙏

Yes they told me I would get fatigue. Im still fatigued! I have to take in consideration I just had Surgery in December as well. 

There's no secret im just hoping to give good news that the cancer is gone. 

I think you made the right decision in tossing your smokes.  My Dad was a heavy smoker.  He also raced Motocross. He was a top rider & one day as we headed home from a race, he said he needed to buy more "fags",  but for some reason he drove right past the corner store.  I remember him saying "I'll get more tomorrow!"  He continued "forgetting" to pick them up everyday for months & we often heard him say, "I'll get more tomorrow" but, Dad never did buy another pack again. 

Maybe this thing you spit out was a blood clot from your radiation.  Have you called the office to ask as maybe it was something to be expected.  I don't think I'd be tempting a return to cancer if I was you.  You made the right decision in tossing them Chelly. I'm very proud of you,  it takes courage to be bold & choose a path of positive difference for your health, Congratulations! 

This fatigue thing you're going thru, is it a treatment side affect?  There's a lot of bugs going around right now in our area so stay away from people or wear a mask to protect yourself further in public. 

We've all had a nausea, puke thing going on & then about 5 days later 3 of us got hit with montezumas revenge!  Lots of hard gut bloating and then the runs! Even the dog has had it & I'm strangly very thankful for puppy pee pads right now!!! 

You sound like your keeping a secret & I'd love to hear what your possible wonderful news is when you're ready to share it. I hope you have a great non-smoking day today. Stay strong Chelly! 

I have been absolutly fatigued to the max. Im in bed all day and night mostly. I get up and push myself when things need done. 

Ive noticed my hair is really thinning  badley. I barely have a bun anymore. This was not supposed to happen but im reading the radiation can scatter. 

Ive had horrible problems the past 2 days with my chemical sensitivity as well. Im hoping all this will come to pass. 

Believe it or not I was still smoking after but only like 1-2 smokes per day, until one day last week I had something in my mouth and pulled it out. It looked like a peice of milk chocolate  in the shape of a worm. I thought to myself ....im not going to smoke any longer. I threw away a half pack of smokes and about 10 lighters. I have not looked back. The first two days when I would think about one I'd go look up a Bible verse instead. 

I really have not thought about smoking for the past 4 days or so. Im really too sick feeling to smoke anyhow so that's a positive. 

Thanks for asking about it and sorry I did not have much good news but im hoping in the near future that I will have wonderful news. 

How many treatments of this type, do you need ??  Have you had other side affects? 

I'm really hoping and praying things all go the best way possible for you. You hang in there, you're a pretty tough lady even if you feel tired out!! Keep us in the loop please.
