pain pain go away

So it has been awhile since I have blogged anything figure time about to give an update. Just realized its been 8 weeks of chemo. The doctors have seen a reduction in tumor. size which is awesome! However with the good is the bad,the side effects are brutal. Dr flarethy(sp) said expect to feel worse then better and he wasn't joking. On any given day my pain level is about a 15-20 on a scale of 10. It makes it hard to take care of my daughter which makes me feel like a bad mom but I have to get over it so I can heal myself. I just don't like waking up not knowing where I smjust so I can not be in pain. Its scary but is what I need right now. With the chemo some of the side effects are screwed up skin issues,leg pain,Wright loss,sour stomach.,dry skin,sunburn.,and blurred vision. I think the one that bothers me the most is lack of energy. That is exhausting just talking about it.all I know is the faster I am off the steroids the faster I can get back to functioning like a real person. So when people ask me how I feel they can refer to this blog.
