1st Halaven treatment down...

Had my first new chemo treatment Tuesday; today's Thursday and I'm still feeling it.  Although, I'm never sure which med to blame, the Halaven or the XGeva (Denosumab.) It's a mixed bag, I'll blame the stomach aches and pains on the Halaven, and the sore joints and feeling 1000 years old on the XGeva.
No issues with actually getting the treatment, smooth sailing, although for a quick injection it still took 2 and a half hours in and out of the hospital.  Thank goodness Will was there with me, keeping me company and keeping my spirits up since:) Our dogs are thrilled to have me on the couch so much; I've been working mornings and sleeping/resting afternoons.  It worked out well that I like to work mornings, and mornings are really the only time i feel up to working; as the day goes on i feel less and less like myself and more "sick." Then by 8 ish I'm ready for bed:) Poor Will, I'm sure he didnt expect old age to come quite so quickly!! Wonder if we can start getting the early bird specials when we go out...:)
I found another massage gift certificate in the cupboard today (thanks to Cheryl Bovard!) and plan to use it soon. Massage and the heating pad are my new best friends. Thanks for all the notes and support!
