Today started off much better. I got 9.5 hours of sleep which helped a lot. Got some crappy traffic this morning but we still made it on time. Pre-meds done, and about to finish off the Platinum. So far doing ok side effect wise, I am starting to get some bad headaches over the last couple of weeks though nurse said to try aleve which I will, Norco always works but its such overkill Med wise. The "fun" of this round wont really start until Thursday if it keeps the same pattern as the last two.

I am back home now, the drive makes it much more of a full day of chemo crud that it used to be. I am drained, little bit a nausea but not bad and a slight headache. I have been getting these headaches ranging from a 1->6 on the pain scale still not 100% sure what's going on with that could have been the nuepogen but I stopped taking that many days ago, nurse says it could be the zofran but I just started taking that yesterday who knows. Anyway back home, trying to get a little work done then relax a bit. I would rather NOT take a nap because I want a full good nights sleep tonight. Sorry I didn't get a "chair pic" for you guys today it was a busy day and I was doing work/telecons from my chair and honestly it didn't even occur to me until after we left. I will try and get them for the rest of the week though.

I am not very tired, I fought the need for the afternoon nap so I could get a good nights sleep, however I am going to try and go to bed in the next 30 minutes or so. I did have a couple more symptoms I wanted to let people know about. Before I do that, I wanted to say my headache has been gone since about 5pm and hasn't come back so that's great. However, I have some darkening of my joins in my hands on the top of them. I tried to take a picture but it didn't come out very well. The "worst" one feels kinda like a callous and its dark grey, I showed them to the nurse and she recommended some hand creme so that's what i am trying tonight. The other symptom which just showed up tonight is on the tips of probably half my fingers. I feel like they have a little any bite or a splinter is stuck in there. If you rub them you can't feel anything but if you hit them just right it hurts, very odd since I thought a symptom of the Platinum was deadening of the fingers! HAHAHAHA. I will mention it to the nurse tomorrow and see what she says. Good night everyone, all-in-all not a bad day.. but the bad ones are coming =(

I know they are coming, but hang in there honey. You are almost done with this! You can make it. Try not to focus on what's coming. Take it a day at a time and try not to stress yourself out. I love you very much!
