Day 68

Bit of an odd night, I kept waking up through the night saying "the fever has broken!". Very surreal. I finally fell into a deep sleep about 2am and then woke with the alarm at 7am. But I woke up feeling, well, better. My head was not fuzzy from the pain killers - which incidentally only just touched the pain last night. I have not had a nap to speak of today but my legs are really painful, from my ankles to my knees. Even having a warm bath tonight has not helped and I find myself looking forward to bed so that I can take my pain killer. But what I cannot get over is the fact that I feel really good considering I had chemo 4 days ago. Last year the doctor said the best indication of how I am doing is how I am feeling, was I feeling any worse or better. Today I feel better - the pain in my legs is just the side effects from the chemo. I have little or no pain in my liver area. If this is following the pattern it did last time, my breast lump disappeared between rounds 4 and 5 of chemo and had gone by round 6. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
