Good morning and here we are back from vacation and back to reality.
Mom says she had a wonderful time on vacation and that she forgot all about her cancer in Hawaii. She came home to have a treatment on this past Thursday. Since then she has been so moody and mad at me because I apparently am not "babying" her enough. I have found that I know what to expect from treatments and I keep telling her she needs to stay in bed and sleep if she is feeling that bad from her treatment. She won't do it and she is just sitting in her chair crying. I don't know what to say or what to do. She knows what to expect but every treatment it is like she has never experienced any of the side effects. I try to make her comfortable and feel better and nothing seems to work. This is when I get discouraged and really get mad about cancer.
Today is not a good day at all for her or me. I need to go to work and she is mad about that. But I have to have a escape for myself or I get in a mood too.
Dealing with chemo and all it's side effects mental and physical are awful.
