So I need help - I am weak - I can't control myself - I not only made chocolate pie, but I doubled the recipe. Why, I don't know. Chemo-brain? Poor self-control? There are only four of us around the house and certainly a single recipe would have been enough for dessert tonight and plenty left over, but no, I made double!
And I have been preaching healthy eating. I feel better when I cut out sugar and flour. So I'll look at this as a small relapse . . . and vow to do better next week.
I have been keeping up the 30 minutes of exercise on the treadmill, daily. This also makes me feel better. Plus, my husband and I have been walking several times a day (either with the dogs or without). Yesterday, since it was over 100 degrees, we went to the mall and walked around for 2 hours.
I go to see my GYN Onc on Friday for a check-up after Round 3 of chemo, which was done a little over a week ago. I have some questions about Round 4 (will it be harder yet?), and sex - it is still painful after radiation. Will I ever be normal again? Luckily, I have been married for 20 years and my husband is very understanding, but I don't want to make him defer intercourse forever. So I need some help/advice.
