Neulasta not so bad so far

Yesterday I went to the hospital to get my Neulasta shot. Two options of getting it was on the back of my arm or on my tummy. I decided to get it on my tummy. It really didn't hurt so much. We were done in less than 5 minutes.

So far no bone pain, we'll see ...

By the way my eyes are MUCH better. Both eyes see at the same level, that makes reading and writing much much easier. I better get some work done this week, while the steroids last (actually I am not so sure if it is just steroids, I think the warm compresses and massages on my eye lids have helped together with artificial tears. My mouth started getting pretty dry also (another common side effect of the chemo), well at least this way I drink water.

My fatigue is definitely worse than the first time, nausea is also bothersome but I can still eat. I bet it is the combination of low red blood cells and accumulation of chemo drugs in my system. I managed to go on a walk with my sister and niece this morning so that was nice. We had a nice breakfast and now I am back in bed.

I feel so lucky that I can rest and do not need to worry about feeding the girls, doing laundry or other housework. Well, after tomorrow I will be halfway done with FEC also. Yuppiiiee!
