The past couple days have continued to be a little rough. I am assuming that the radiation is the culprit of the days being somewhat rough. Along with not getting very much sleep throughout the night I have had to continue to get up at 4:30 am to get ready for my radiation appointments in the morning. I am very happy though because I just have one more session this afternoon at 4:30 pm. I can't wait until it is all over! I think the radiation has been a little harder on me than the chemo has been. I have just been so tired and just feel like sleeping all the time. So I usually have been just getting back from my appointments in the morning and sleeping throughout most of the afternoon.
Along with the tiredness I have continued to have some nausea. I have been fortunate enough to not be actually vomiting though. Usually when I feel real nauseated I just try to go to sleep or ask for some meds before it gets too bad. So far so good and I haven't experienced the joy the actual vomiting yet. I have not been able to eat for the past few days though. My doctor says that I really need to try to get something in my stomach, even if it is a carnation instant breakfast or something like that. He wants me to have some good nutrition in me, but I am having a hard time stomaching the thought of eating anything right now. My appetite has simply left me. So I am hoping that with radiation done today and hopefully be getting better nights sleep the days to follow will be better. Tomorrow is the day and I can't believe it is actually here. I know that the road ahead is not going to be easy but I am hoping for the best and the level of GVHD that I get is mild and not severe from the transplant. I guess we will just have to wait and see. In the meantime I am overjoyed because tomorrow could be the start of a new life!
