Just wondering why chemo is so deceptive. Treatment 2 was not so bad but this third one has been bad since the second day. I'm on day 6 and have no energy. Hope my blood counts are ok on thursday. One more treatment to go but it seems a very long road to go. The chemo brain this time has been so foggy. And everything taste bad. But I'm trying to keep my spirits up. My hysterectomy is scheduled for may 6th. I hope I can be on track so I can start to get my own life back again. And to anyone else who might be on this "bus" with me this week I'll go around the town one more time but let me know when its my stop so I can throw myself back onto the couch.

Thanks for all your advice. The weekend went well. I went to things I wanted to and went home when I needed to. Everyone was very understanding. We had a great time. I did not see in time the post about "letting your air down or wig" I should say. But after a dinner sunday night we all came back to my house. I most of the time take my wig off and put on a cotton cap. After wearing the wig 3 full days my head gets sore so I went and put my cap on and came out and that was that. Nobody even looked twice. My sister was the last to leave that night so I showed her my bald head. I'm glad I did. People don't know how sick you are when you wear a wig and make-up. You look like yourself but the baldness shows this is no day at the beach treatment you are going thru.
I have blood testing this morning, I hope my counts are better so I can visit my granddaughter this weekend.
THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!

So they leave today and I had a great weekend. And I think I'd like to have a nap today on the rainy afternoon!
Thank you again for you replies they really made me feel more comfortable knowing that many others have felt the same way I have.

Just wanted to ask how many women are out there that are constantly riding a roller coaster of emotions. Just as I start to feel like I'm standing on firm ground another problem pops-up. I had my second of 4 chemo's and have just found out that after chemo I need a full hysterectomy. One ovary is the size of a softball. They don't think its cancer but its too big to leave in. That pushes back the 6 weeks of radiation now finishing up into july. I started this whole crazy ride mid december will it ever end???
And on a whole other issue, my sister and niece and friend are coming to town this weekend. I am nervous about seeing them. I'm not the same person I was before I went thru all this cancer stuff. I still am getting use to changes treatment has done to my body. I know I have a great wig but to me its still a wig. They think I can do all this running around with them going out for mexican food. And if I get tired I can lay down at someones house. Helloooooo I just had chemo 8 days ago. This is starting to sound more like a vent but I just had to see if anyone else has felt this way.
Thanks Cancer47View Thread

I was dx in december with stage 2b breast cancer. I know that all the positive thoughts are good advice but some times you just need to have a good "full blown" cry. Let yourself feel all the terror and uncertaintythat you are feeling. I use to say I always felt better after my morning cry.
Maybe this will help you.
