Sick of Sleeping😫😴
I am thinking in the future again today. I can’t wait for the day that I have lived with cancer enough that it just becomes my new normal. Cancer is heavy on my mind today because this new chemo drug/immunotherapy is really making me tired. I am on a deadline to finish this book I am working on, and I needed to write three chapters today, but I slept so much that I only got one written today. I would write a page or two and need a nap, write a page or two and need another nap. All. Day. Long. I wish I could just enjoy all the naps, but I need to get stuff done, as well. I have felt fatigue and fatigue from cancer before, but I have never felt fatigue like this. I feel almost sick from being so tired. It’s OK, and it is manageable, but just wanted to let you know what symptoms I am having. No nausea today, and I have sore leg muscles today, but not pain like I had last night, so I was thankful that was gone when I woke up. So, I am going to have to take a break from writing tonight to do some mindful lettering to put me back in the present moment. I talked to a good friend today who told me about a woman she knew who died after 14 or 15 years of living with metastatic cancer. Gives me hope. But, in the back of my mind, I am thinking how aggressive triple negative breast cancer is. My friend reminded me that everyone’s cancer is different, and I need to remember that and remain hopeful. It was good to hear that today because today is one of the rough ones. Just. So. Tired.
