So, it’s been about four or five weeks since my last treatment and I am still having weird side-effects. I feel like I am never healing or something is always hurting. Each week my body throws a new ache or feature at me. I’m like, “Are you serious?.”
Since my last treatment, I have experienced headaches and back pain. These are the main side-effects that the nurses told me I would have as I am recovering. Although these are the main side-effects, I have also had some tingling in my fingers, dizziness, swelling of the foot, hives, weak legs, and lumps on the back of my neck. Not all of these side-effects affect me severely, but I do struggle with some of the pain I get. The pain can be mild and sometimes it can be more severe.
The fact that I always feel like I have a new ache or pain is frustrating and I know my mom gets frustrated, as well. I know this treatment will take a little while to get in full effect, but I seriously feel like my body is working against me sometimes. I believe it will get better by doing what my nurses say and praying.
