I had a bad day last week, I wasn't expecting to and it took me completely by surprise. It was awful, just like being back on treatment again. It brought all those memories back into sharp focus again. It's quite normal apparently. Perhaps it was a sign that I had been trying to do too much so I rested for a couple of days and was soon back to my post tx self.
This is why I think it is important to catalogue what happens after treatment as well as during. It's like the convalescent period.
I have been doing some walking and the hill that used to make me breathless no longer has that effect on me, progress indeed!
I have put on the stone in weight that everyone dreads when treatment ends. I was only ever this big when I was pregnant with my first daughter! I see Dr Streedharan at the end of September so if I haven't lost any weight by then I will ask what I can do to improve my metabolism, other than walking - perhaps I am just to impatient!
My achey joints are just the same, unfortunately. Not bad enough to warrant painkillers, just annoying. They make me feel about 90 years of age, and if you saw me hobbling about sometimes you might think I was. Again, its quite normal apparently.
