So Friday I received my last AC treatment!!! I was soo ready for those to be over. Of course this weekend has been exhausting and I have my usual nausea. However I have gone almost 36 hours without my rescue meds. For the most part I've been able to control the nausea with food intake.
I have officially added another side effect to the list...I am no longer having periods, so I guess I'm officially in my first Menopause..I say first, because at 32 I know I'll be going through it again in my life!! Unfortunately that combined with the chemo has caused a considerate weight gain. I will be so happy when all this is over and I have my own body back. There have been soo many outside changes somedays I don't recognize myself.
Along with the menopause weight gain I've had some days that were very emotional. This weekend included. It's been a really rough couple of days, I'm hoping that tomorrow (well I guess technically today since it's 4:00 am) will be better!
welcome to the club! I hated going through menopause at 35. Wait, I still hate it - mine is now forever, since they'll put me on Tamoxifen to keep the estrogen at bay :(
ReplyDeleteIt's Michelle from "Knock Knock it's cancer" by the way ... I'm just signed in as my 'other' blog (Having to keep up two blogs is confusing, lol)
Anyway - I just hope that things will get easier for you as you go. The weight gain is a normal part of chemo for breast cancer patients, but it will come off after, don't worry.
Btw, I finally posted a new post on my main blog too :)
