Chemo is brutal. I’d go through it again, but I’m still relatively strong, and I have people depending on me. As my body ages, there will come a time when I won’t be strong enough to survive chemo. I hear radiation is worse. I hope I never find out first hand.
My radiation was nothing. I mean it, nothing. It was so easy to get through. Made me a bit tired, maybe a little unsteady on my feet. (which I was already struggling with because of chemo)
Chemotherapy affected me so bad. They cut my dose in half and extended the times, but it was still so hard and tough on me, they cut it to 35%, then I said, what good is it then and I told them I wasn’t having the last dose and they said ok.
It’s been 8 months since and I’m still struggling.
Strangely though....My lower back pain quit during chemo, my rosacea disappeared and my complexion was perfect. Odd huh! That didn’t help when I lost my toenails and my molars broke and I couldn’t walk from extreme tiredness and lack of balance and other stuff. It was bad.
