Day#6 Toughing It Out

Just finished Day 6 and after tomorrow I will be 1/3 of the way through. Yesterday was a fairly easy day but today has been rough. Feeling considerable pain under my breast which I think is a rib and burning sensations/pain all over the target area. I'm pretty uncomfortable and down emotionally because I know it only gets worse from here and I have 15 more treatments to go. In addition, today I felt the first of the fatigue and it has hit me like a ton of bricks all of a sudden. I guess I am just gonna have to take it one day at a time.

Sorry if I sound whiny. I hate that. It is not me. And I don't like it when cancer tries to make me into something I'm not.

So I'll sign off and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Sometimes it is a dull ache and other times when I move a certain way, it is a sharp shooting pain deep inside that is like a knife. I am on my second prescription of pain meds (albeit, a weak Rx). Lol. I can't look with scrutiny at my scar...
