I've been an exceptionally quiet blogger these days. I'm doing very well these days. Work has been busy and I've been working like a crazy lady. I averaged 50+ hour weeks over the past month. Working that much made me tired. I would have thought being on chemo that I wouldn't barely be able to work my 40 hours a week. I went into the whole Nexavar-situation, hoping that I would be able to maintain my job. I've been able to do exceed at my job recently because people have forgotten that I'm taking chemo. That is the best feeling to me. I'm dealing with the drugs so well, that no one remembers I'm on them. Don't get me wrong, it has its downsides. Working that much while your body is taking a brutal hit from oral chemo every day is not very healthy.
I've been trying to find a balance. A work-life-chemo balance. It's a constant work in progress. I want to prove to people that they don't need to treat me any differently because I'm on drugs. At the same time, I need people to remember that I need SLEEP so that my body can recover from pills I'm pumping into it. I have to be honest. I have not found a balance yet. I'm all all-or-nothing kinda gal.
I owe people (do people still read this?) an answers about how I'm doing. I'll post more later this week.
