It's 3:00 am. Like clockwork, here I sit AGAIN! French Maid: I'm a member of breastcancer.org and one of the mods provided a link to their page on Insomnia. www.breastcancer.org/treatment/side_effects/insomnia. Cool that I found it but then I'm glancing over to the left column at the treatment side effects list and I'm like holy! For anyone who has/knows someone who has/or just wants to know about bc, breastcancer.org is the official site for bc. Very thorough with detailed forums to discuss as well.

Speaking of insomnia, I think they should go further and add bad dreams to the list of side effects. So many consecutive nights/days/whatever of just bad dreams. Not nightmares, but just really weird bad dreams- and I'm not famous for having such dreams....

Are they giving you Ativan for pain? Why would they give you a benzo for pain? Or is it to deal with the anxiety of the treatments and such?

They anticipate (I think) at some point my great handling of it all may go south later on. So I have it but don't anticipate needing it, but who knows. Haven't been down this road before. I don't have pain meds for now, saving that for after so I won't possibly build up a tolerance.

So LeBron said he was very tired coming in to the game. He has said cryotherapy rejuvenates him and swears by it. Maybe I should try it..

It's Monday morning. As usual didn't sleep much and when I did, with the dull aches and pains in both, it sure wasn't restful. I mean how long can you stay on your back? Turn left, owe! Turn right, discomfort. Time sure does go slow when you are pretty housebound from this. No mood to go anywhere or do much of anything. Cancer sucks!

I hope I never know personally, but yes, it do. I hope so too for you. I wouldn't wish this shit on anyone, and I'm at the starting gate of the journey. :/

Well frick. They were supposed to call me with an appt with the medical onc. Guess I have to call them tomorrow. :poke: I'd be in trouble if I messed up like this back when I worked for a busy surgeon's office.
