This chemo continues to be really different. Again unlike other rounds week 3 has been a challenge. All this week I have had an incredibly bad back pain. At the same time I have had a really puffed bloated painful feeling in the stomach.
Were the 2 linked, I had no idea. All I know is that I have had a real problem sleeping. I haven't been able to lie comfortably in any position. My best sleeping posture has been sleeping very upright in our wing back chair with a big pillow in front of me to stop me from bending too far forward. Unfortunately you can't sleep for very long like that. So I've been getting about an hour at a time and then having to move or walk around to get myself reset. Mostly this week I've been tired, as you can imagine.
The good news is, today I went to my Osteopath who worked very hard on my back and my stomach. With a 'crack' my back went back to where it should be and has felt pretty good all day since. It still isn't 100% but it is much better. On top of that I spent the 2 hours immediately after the treatment in the toilet, and now my stomach feels better too. Again not everything feels 100% but it feels a lot better and I am looking forward to sleeping tonight.
I am sooo glad I took this week off work as well, I have no idea how I would have functioned this week.
Any way treatment number 6 tomorrow, further updates to come.
