The week-end was restful (read: I didn't do anything). But I guess there was a reason for my fatigue. After my chemo on Tuesday I got a call saying my red blood count was down and was causing anemia. They were going to get an approval for Procrit which should help boost my red blood count. After reading about some of the side effects, I may opt just to go with blood transfusions.
The side effects of chemo came on quick and strong yesterday. After getting home, I slept in the chair for over an hour and decided to go to bed. When Martha checked my temp. it was 102. So I continued to sleep with Martha bringing me Motrin every 4 hours. The fever broke early in the evening and was completely gone in the a.m.
Had to get some blood tests done this a.m. and have been sleeping/sitting around ever since.
Beautiful day here, would be nice for a walk or bike ride. Perhaps after I get over this anemia. Martha will be cooking a steak for me tonight. That should help!!!
