I Finished Treatment Three Last Friday. Where Did The Emotions Come From All Of A Sudden.

I can’t watch animal videos, anything that is sentimental or inspiring. In the middle of the day I want to cry because I miss my Dad. Or, I miss the lady I used to work with and passed away shortly after her retirement. I am not a weepy person. Actually I am usually the strong one.
God help me when the holiday movies start or the Kleenex commercials begin. If you want to make some money, buy some stock in tissues. I’ll keep your stock up.

I have been done with chemo and radiation since July, I feel more emotional now more then ever. I had reconstruction surgery in Dec. looking at myself, I think what the heck happened to me. Many nights I find myself crying for no real reason. Crazy!!

Allll, the emotional reasons said above, and also, I’m pretty sure you can blame your pre-infusions. They are full of benydryl (a real downer) and steroids (a real upper)—it’s no wonder we are so destabilized; I think our emotional keel being chemically knocked about has some bearing, additional to the psychology of dealing with a dx and tx.

Go to Costco and buy your pallet of Kleenex-you’ll level out when this chemo-madness ends, I promise. 😊💪
