As expected the aches and pains came back in full force. I had my chemo Monday and they made "their" presence felt by Wednesday. It's Sunday and I can still feel the pain. It hurts so bad but all I can think of is that it's the last time I'll experience this type of pain (I hope). I have to hang on to something to keep me sane.
The pains came with the usual side effects: heartburn, mouth sore (including my swollen white tongue), irritability, emotional angst, hot flushes, mild pains from armpit where the lymph nodes where taken, slight lymphedema and a few more. Dr. S gave me new meds but I'm not sure if it was that helpful. It was supposed to relieve the pain but just like Tylenol 3 and Percocet, it didn't work.
When will it completely go away? The pains from my surgery will be around for some time. But the chemo pain and the emotional rollercoaster ride? I hope sooner than expected because I can't handle it anymore.
