A bit better

Compared to past weekend I'm a lot better. Can't truly explain how achey I was and still continue to be. But my blog continues to give me strength, comments of encouragement. Lasted much longer this time around, as compared to 2005. By Monday(chemo same day as this time) I was back to work with bad headache. Aches were nothing like this. And to think everytime I have chemo it will be followed by this horendous aches/pain/hell. As they say, if cancer doesn't kill you the treatment will.

Today I felt better. There is no med that I take that takes the pain away. That's how bad the pain is. Am hoping tomorrow is the turning point as far as the pain goes. My right shoulder, under neath each shoulder and both breasts cause me the most pain. If anyone knows about nursing babies I can tell you it's like being engorged (breasts about to explode). Only difference is there is no milk there. Just heavy duty pain.

Off to bed. Again thanks to Lisa H for getting me up to 3rd flr. to post! And to everyone else,
Feb. 12th is Tim's and Mom's birthday. Mark your calendar.
