Treatment Number 6 Written by Alison Bell |
|---|
Monday 26th Feb.
I think the hardest thing to imagine is life after your treatment is over. It is such a huge part of your everyday being that although you should not put your life on hold I am finding that my life is static. More through lack of energy than lack of will. I am still continuing to work and so that is using up the major percentage of my energy. However, part of me feels I should be doing things, living life, planning for when this is over and I can change my life.
The treatment is given in cycles. 1 treatment every two weeks. I get side effects for about 5 or 6 days, and then start getting back to normal when treatment day arrives.

The hardest thing to conquer is fatigue, and when I sat down to visualize my counts this afternoon I tried to visualize a "well me," after treatment, a kind of end product. |
|
I think the fantasy is to have energy. It seems such a long time that I haven't felt exhausted. Fatigue as a result of my virus, fatigue as a symptom of cancer and now fatigue as a result of chemotherapy. |
|
So I visualize myself full of vitality, able to feel energetic, enthusiastic and to actually get up the hill without puffing. |
|
My breathing has become a little labored, which I am hoping is not a permanent problem from the drugs. I'm trying to imagine myself healthy, free from the cancer, recharged and energized with a strong and healthy immune system to prevent infections from running me down. And 20lbs lighter!! |
