This week has been a struggle. I felt the after effects of chemo for 3 days instead of the now-usual 1. My doc had allowed me to decrease my antidepressant some months ago, but now I seem to have spiraled down. I cry nearly everyday. I am lethargic and apathetic. I don't enjoy things like sewing and writing anymore. And I've been daydreaming or just staring into space A LOT. I believe I'll be going back up on my dosage. My mouth is still inflamed a bit but it no longer looks like sores, just deeper red than the rest of my mouth, so I get to keep gargling baking soda water. On the up side, my feet and hand swelling has gone down a bit. I should be eligible to get a vaccine booster at the end of the month. I got out my Halloween decor-for me and the house! I have 3 sewing projects planned for this month, though not dolls: I am going to replace some pieces on a pillow that are coming apart, and I am making a couple of pieces of clothing for my Halloween party costume. Hoping and hoping that the 30th and 31st are clear nights so I can be outside, or all my work will be for nothing. My give-out-candy costume will be Miss Minutes from the Loki tv show. This time I hope to use my original design, not the one I used for Dragon Con. I even walked my old pre-cancer pace of 2 miles in 30 minutes. But I must have been slapping the pavement hard because now my foot hurts and I'm limping. *sigh* Ending with the best news, though: got my October scan, and there is still no progression of the cancer in my bones!! Please keep praying for that January scan. If that one is stable, I can get a break from chemo!!
