It’s Friday………….

@4meAndyou Me neither, I had chemo yesterday. Got the cold chills about an hour before it was finished. I had gotten up to use the restroom and didn’t have the fleece shirt over my other shirt. Came back to the room and laid down and pulled the blanket up over me and started shivering pretty bad. Fortunately the nurse didn’t see it or might have tried to give me the drug the doctor prescribed for reactions to the chemo. I believe now it wasn’t a reaction, didn’t happen last time but did time before. I am anemic now and have shivered off and on at home when I am laying in my lift chair. Fortunately there’s a heater in the lift chair and that helps and I have used the electric throw to warm me up too. Probably need to bring it next time. I think walking around would have helped but I was connected to the chemo pole and would have to push it around with me.

@cherokeepatti You are having a MUCH harder time with this TYPE of chemo than you did with your previous chemos. If I were you I would definitely bring a heated blanket.

Being anemic MIGHT cause you to feel cold, too. I thought you were on a break from chemo, also? I guess I am remembering wrong. I thought they wanted your white blood cell count to go up some more before doing it again.

@4meAndyou skipped a week so my white cells would go back up and they did really well. My oncologist also cut 20% off of the amount of the chemo so that will likely help. I feel a lot better today due to all that sleep I got last night. Slept from about 6-7 this morning. Only woke up once and it was Ray checking on me. Couldn’t get to sleep very quick so I did Cryptogram puzzles for about an hour and then dozed off again.

@cherokeepatti Lack of sleep about kills me. If I'm exhausted, everything hurts...and if I even eat a cracker I crash and burn like it was Thanksgiving...🤣🤣🤣
