Another early riser here too! Made it through until 4am today though. Bonus! Mind you, when you consider all that our poor bodies and minds are going through, it is not surprising. I thought, especially when I was first diagnosed, that it was a bit of the ‘fight or flight,’ instinct. Do you know what I mean? Your body being on this sort of permanent alert? So, no, the chemo doesn’t help, or the steroids either, but in think it is more than that- especially waiting for further results CM.
It’s really interesting what you were mentioning about FB and the whole way we deal with the BC thing Cheryl and CM. I know what you mean by the ‘wobbly course.’ I hadn’t really thought about having an overall attitude to telling people, but I guess I aim to say, yes, I have cancer, but that’s not who I am. It’s easier said than done though, especially if you are undergoing chemo. Being a bit of a control freak, I guess i usually make sure I am presenting the image of myself i want to project to the world at large. Yesterday though, I was in my nightie, no make-up, full chemo flush and bloat, little sleep cap on etc. We are having work done on the house at the moment, and despite them having being told otherwise, guys appeared to do various things…I could just FEEL their attitude- I looked every inch the cancer ‘victim,’ and I hated it.
Anyway, prob a bit deep for this cheerful thread, sorry folks! Had better find the spa tent and pull myself together!
