Altace
I started taking Altace today, the pill that's meant for hypertension, but has been shown to protect one's heart while on Herceptin. I'm not sure what the side effects to this are, it will definitely lower my blood pressure, so I might feel dizzy or light-headed.
I'm feeling more and more fatigue. If I spend the day being active, I find myself completely wiped out for the next two days. I can't articulate the kind of tiredness this is, but it's painful in a way. I haven't been sleeping well, I'm averaging around five to six hours of sleep and my afternoon naps have become non-existent. The last time I went to the gym was March 23rd and I couldn't bring myself back until today. On Friday, I went out with some co-workers and spent the entire weekend recouping. On a positive note, my hair is still growing fast. I'm certain I have the most softest hair!! It's my new favorite feeling and actually come to think of it, I've never been petted so much in my life. The skin around my breast area is still healing and isn't as burnt as before, but the sharp pains are constant. I get them randomly throughout the day and hope it ends soon.
This Thursday I see a Naturopath. I'm looking forward to seeing her as she will help clean my body from all the toxicity of the treatments.
Good night!

ah.. I know Altace. Somebody was taking this too but can't remember who it was. Let me know when you're here at CI. I hope you're finding strength within and courage to keep going. We're still here for you.
