Do you feel terrible all of the time? Or do you have spells where you start to feel better?

It seems like I can't catch a day that something doesn't hurt, or I'm nauseous, headaches or something. I thought I would have some time that I wasn't feeling bad.

When I was in chemo I had 3 or 4 days a week that I felt terrible. I remember thinking, just let me die and be done with it. I felt that bad. Then I had 3 or 4 days when I felt, not great, but kinda OK. I looked forward to those days. It's a tough road. The hope is that it will be all worth it in the end.0

I can say that during this last diagnosis I have more good days than bad. I didn't have as many good days during the first 3 diagnoses. Now I have my share of problems and I am not able to do what I think I can, but I'll say I'm better this time.0

I try to keep my mind off the negative.. headaches, body pains, scanxiety, challenged mobility. And the list goes on. I try to work on charity baby quilts that will hopefully bring smiles. I also try to be positive as my team has an easier time with the positive me.0

After hubby's 1st cycle. he was queasy for a few days then felt find. But the effect was cumulative for him. Once the 2nd cycle began, he didn't really feel good again until some time after it was over. Once he got his appetite back, he was on a roll. Took some time to get his energy back too but he's back to looking forward to going to the grands sports activities and his friends poker games.0

I feel good 99% of the time. When I was getting traditional chemo, that went down to about 60% of the time.
I hope you'll start to feel better soon. What treatment are you on?0 -
I started treatments in May 2018, I have had very few good days. The nausea, dizziness, muscle aches, pain, passing out, weakness, not feeling like getting out of bed. It’s been a struggle to keep going for treatments.
Good luck to you0
