My high dose chemo treatments are half way done today! The weekends are good because they take the needles out of my port and I can shower without taping plastic bags over the site and I don't have to be as careful when I tussle with the kids.
About 20-30% of people taking my chemo get mild to moderate depression. The doctor decided this past Monday that I was one of those because I was bluesy and sleeping a ton. He said "up" people like me don't get "depressed" they get "tired." So we got started on an anti-depressant on Tuesday and today, Friday, all I can say is "WOW!" And I mean, "WOW!" Talk about being chemically altered! It's certainly doing it's job but I wouldn't want to be on these long term. It's weird.
That's all really. Just wanted to celebrate being 1/2 way done with the high dose portion of the chemo and wanted everyone to know that happy pills are amazingly powerful!
