I mean, I’m sure I could think of more than 10 things, but I stuck to 10.
- Hot flashes
- Cold sweats
- Unquenchable thirst
- Food tastes bland
- Your hair gets patchy (I guess that’s worse than falling out?)
- It’s like pregnancy all over again with swollen legs and nausea
- Getting winded after getting up out of a chair
- Asking for help/not being able to help myself
- Missing fun outings or special moments with the kids
- Having to wear a hat all the time when I never thought hats looked good on me!
10 Things I Don’t Mind About Chemo
- It kills cancer!
- There’s lots of time for naps
- You eat whatever you can stomach
- The nurses!
- It’s a good excuse to connect with friends
- My nails stay painted longer
- “Kicking cancer’s ass” makes for a good out-of-office message
- And “I have cancer” makes for a good excuse 😉
