Hi Audrey,
Try to take it easy, and enjoy not dealing with Hair! Now that mine is coming back, I can see how easy it was not having any. I did get some scarves to tie around my head and a couple of caps. I had a wig, but never used it. I did take procrit each week for 4 wks. I really can't remember if it helped me have energy, like the Onc. said. I was achey and asked for pain pills-- I hate to sound like an addict, but the pain pills really helped. The downside was that I overdid, and my family still thought I could do as much as I could before the chemo.---- and now it has finally caught up with me --and my family can't understand why I am not cleaning,etc....---so, rest for a while at first, then try to walk to give you some energy/wake you up. Do you have children & husband?? Let them see you like you feel, but you know men do not like to hear alot of complaints, at least mine don't. I am going to start doing only one chore per day. That's all I can handle now.
I may ask my family doctor/Onc. for an antidepressant. I have been on them before, and I may try again. Let me know how you are--Kat in the delta
