Saturday at work is challenging without all the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, so it was bad this morning. I was tired, nauseous, and just didn’t want to be there. It’s getting harder and harder to talk with all the swelling in my mouth, never mind eat. I told my manager that I was going to be taking off after Monday morning until my treatment was finished. I’m going to go take care of my surgical patients in the morning, but after that I’m done. Can’t do it anymore. Too tiring.
The rest of the day was hard. Cold chills and fatigue till the end of the day. Having a harder time eating too. Just difficult to chew and swallow with all the pain. I’m forcing myself to eat still, but it is challenging. Going to bed shortly so I can get some control over this cold chill. 🙁
