@loula- Cynde-Good morning. Please don't start messing around with drugs to offset your fatigue! You'll have more problems than you can imagine. The fatigue that you have is a result of having cancer and chemo, a port put in, and all of the emotional ups and downs of cancer. It is normal to be tired when you are healing and having chemicals put into your body. By trying to fight the fatigue in any manner that isn't natural, and worrying about it just drains your system further. Your body is telling you, "Hey homey, stop worrying about what you don't like, you are making your fatigue even worse." You have one job right now and that is to take care of yourself by resting, drinking lots of water, and eating as well to help your body heal.

Thank you for asking about me. I had my first vaccination a week ago. Today I finally feel great. Although it is cold in southern New England this AM it will start to warm up now that spring is springing!

A journal is great. Are you also writing down your feelings? Have you read my blog?

Merry, you are so right about putting something else in my body, when I heard about that drug I thought well I am so darn tired why not. the doctor told me my blood count is low and it will probably go lower if so there is some injection they can give to raise the white and platelets have you ever heard of those? I already get Arnasep injections for my red count. I am going to wait for the covid shots until I am done with the chemo, which should be done in May. I read your blog what a strong woman you are. you look darn good for what you have gone through. thanks for all your information on this cancer.
stay strong
cynde
