Cindy RN Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I am asking those of you who have been here for awhile to say an extra prayer for me. I had chemo all of last week and am still so tired I can't stay awake more than 3-4 hrs. I usually bounce back fairly quickly but this time seems different. I am still running a temp-low grade and am on antibiotics for it. Just need the energy back. Thanks for all of you. Love Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggiesmom Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Dear Cindy, I'll keep you in my prayers. I experienced the same fatigue when i had treatment last year, also had a low grade fever and chills. I guess this is part of the treatment side effects (fatigue, not the fever). Rest up and your strength will come back. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Cheryl- Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Cindy, You and I can be miserable together sweetie. I had my last chemo Mon. and stil feel exhausted, chills, nausea. I started to do the dishes to move around a lttle and ended up vomitting in te sink! I am sorry, that is so unpleasant to talk about. The anti-nausea medicine just makes me more tired....Tired or nauseated, which do I want to be? Are there any other choices?? My husband can't babysit me every min. and worries so much, as I am sure your husband does fr you too. I am praying hard for you right now in the name of our Lord Jesus that you feel more energy and strength. Jesus please help Cindy battle this dreadful disease and let her go back to her job helping people! In you your name by your stripes may she be healed. Amen, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny G. Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Hi Cindy, I know that fatigue. I've been able to fall asleep in an instant anytime, anyplace. Don't know why some times are worse than others. I'm praying for you. Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Just want to add my prayers...I have always loved the scripture you have posted in your signature. Here is another I have found helpful: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eagles; They shall run and not be weary; And they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 Hang in there and may God surround you with an abundance of love and support, Cindy. ~Karen M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norme Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Cindy, you are always in my prayers. That chemo is in there killing that terrible cancer......when it has done it's job you will start to feel better.. God Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengel Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi Cindy RN, I hope by now you are feeling better. It would usually take me 3 days after chemo to feel good enought to go back to teaching. I think it was my fourth round that put me down more than the others. I think it was also the one where I started loosing my hair. The doctor didn't know why I was more tired because my blood work was within margins. But rest is always the best healer along with making our requests known to God. Praying for you now, Bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
