This just in...
I am happy to report that my remaining ovary seems to have awakened from her sleep and is back on the job. My night sweats have all but gone away and I'm feeling more like a purring kitty cat than the DEFCON 5 Porcupine yelling profanity-laced vitriol at the sweet Sisters of Charity for praying on their rosaries too loudly! I am continuing the daily Black Cohosh supplement because I don't mind giving my body help in getting itself sorted out. But let me tell ya', it is nice to smile a true smile and not just "grit and bear it".
Also, it seemed to take 6 days from the chemo treatment till the side effects wore off. It has been nice to drink slightly colder than room temperature drinks and to chew without feeling like a million tiny nails were being simultaneously driven into my jaw and up my head.
I like feeling like myself. I am curious to see if what happened (side effects, emotions etc) after the first treatment is the same each time OR if by knowing what to expect, I can intervene and with supplements etc. shorten the recovery time? Who knows? I'll be sure to keep you posted.
But for today and till my next treatment (9-25) it's nice to be feeling good and happy. Very nice.
