Woke up at 2:30 last night with left arm aching, so used tens unit on my neck, then went back to sleep woke up not hurting, everything came out of me quickly. So Imodium, it was that ended it for the day. Seem to be ok tonight after another treatment. Hopefully, won't have same problem in morning. And, will sleep all night. I am hoping will not have pain. I have never been that thrilled about this all this treatment, though everyone keeps telling me I need to do. After being in pain from mid-May till end of August before hysterectomy I just do not want to go back to pain. Am hoping this can go as smoothly as possible.

Hang in there. For me the days went by quickly. It really is an overwhelming process and I didn't have chemo, so I can only imagine that you are exhausted and ready for this to be over I worked the entire time and drove about an hour each way so the trips were exhausting and then I would go to work each day. If the diarrhea persists my Dr also recommended a low fiber diet and as long as I followed that mine was more tolerable. I just started adding back in most fruits and veggies in the past couple of weeks. Take care and hopefully today will be a good day!
