I'd read Week 5 could be a swine!!

On Day #34.
From #17 - #33, days were either OK or Very Good, with five of them being Absolutely Normal!
Today I've just felt really low. Not anxious (I'm taking the F. for Anxiety) just sub-tearful.
The digestive side effect is improved.
I feel very clear mentally.
Sleep still not brilliant - I can't doze off if I wake early. As I don't feel functionally tired during the day, I assume I'm getting enough sleep, so I'm beginning to experiment with going to bed later, so that I sleep until the alarm. I have had Sleep Anxiety for ten years, following successful chemo, so being brave enough to experiment is a really big deal.
The most annoying side effect is the hand tremors, and today at lunch a leg was jittery too. I am anxious about people noticing.
OK, so maybe Week 5 hasn't been that much of a swine after all - it's daft that one bad day is more memorable than 17 good ones. I am very glad of this site, with all sorts of experiences shared. So many people post elsewhere that 2-3 weeks in and it's all rainbows. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for anyone for whom that's so; but it's great to read other truths too.
