Chemo 11 - so tired!
Hello Family, Just completed chemo 11 with topotecan - 45 min drip. Laid around in hospital all day Saturday and just got home today Sunday. WHY am I so tired! I had pool, park, explore, do nails, have facial, wash hair for first time since October 2016 - with conditioner on my list and guess where I am going? To bed for a nap. What's happening in your worlds of living with cancer one day at a time (thanks again to Helen for explaining blood transfusion - that term was used for the first time by a nurse yesterday "you are not so anemic that you need a transfusion." If she had said this without my conversation with Helen I would have FREAKED). Oh yeah, this anemia thing - I had low reds in Oct and Nov - started using protein powder EVERY day and they went up - going back to this practice and seeing if it will work again. (ENSURE, Abbott Labs, powder.) (Last time, Holland made powder) xo H.N.

Hello Sandra, I hope you are feeling a bit less tired today. Maybe you are back at your school. I had a good weekend, after my chemo on Friday, however am feeling a bit quiet today, having a restful day catching up on emails and a bit of reading. Glad to hear that my information about blood transfusions have helped you. Take care Helen
