Since so many of you have asked, here’s my schedule, as far as I know it:
Chemo infusions, every three weeks, on a Wednesday:
May 4
May 25
June 15
July 6
The first 9-10 days, I’m sick and sleep a gazillion hours a day. Please don’t call during this time.
The second half of the cycle, starting Saturday ten days out, I can see friends and answer phone calls. Like always, after 11 a.m. California time is best. Speak to the answering machine. If I’m home and awake, I’ll pick up the phone.
If all goes well, after I recuperate from chemo I’ll have surgery, followed by radiation, and then a year of chemo-light, dates TBA on all.
Sounds good. Sleep is good. The ONLY time your body heals is when it is at rest. That’s what all the nurses told me.
Thanks Sharon. At least I’m prepared by now, and know not to plan anything. I’m OK with sleeping all those hours if that’s what my body needs.
