Today marks 3 weeks since my 3rd PRRT. I am still up and doing things but my energy levels are starting to fall off. For example, yesterday at 1pm, I had to lay down for a nap even though I woke up at 930am and had slept for over 9 hours. Being able to sleep and rest is foremost in my mind. This is the same trend as the last PRRT; I had energy for a couple weeks after I got home and then I tanked for 2 months. Yawn.
This is explained by the effects of the radiation on the body. Starting in July I will have to monitor my blood levels and they will drop again - white cells, red cells, platelets. I suppose fatigue means my body is also processing a bunch of dead tumor tissue to which I say, "Good! Death to you buggers!"
Off to rest - I am too tired to write more now.
