I am thrilled to report that the claritin worked!!! By this day the last time, I could hardly walk and needed help with everything and this time I simply feel like I have the achy flu. I will no longer complain about Neulasta as this is very doable. I'm actually thrilled to know I can do whatever I want these next couple of days and I'm not confined to the couch or my bed. The nurse part of me wants to know how this works (no one knows why this works) but the patient part of me could care less, I'm just happy.
Today is a better day all the way around. I'm still trying to sort issues out and figure out this next part of treatment. I know I shouldn't freak out about menopause as this is something I will go through anyway.....it bothers me to go through it so young though! I think I will feel better once I talk with the radiation docs as I will be very blunt about what's important to me. I'm all for aggressive treatment as long as I still have a good quality of life too.
Went to church yesterday and someone from my small group who I haven't seen in awhile didn't recognize me with my wig. It was an awkward moment but I'm sure this sort of thing will happen more and more. His wife lost her battle with cancer so he knows exactly what we are going through and has been praying for us. He thought I looked good and I guess I'm going to have to trust others when they tell me that.
