Today was the day that had been circled on the calendar, well kind of. I'd actually intended to go back a week ago but then when we got the biopsy it kind of necessitated that we push the date. Regardless, this morning I found myself wearing pants for the first time since August 3rd.

I wasn't worried about the workload or really anything about the work side of coming back. It mostly had to do with how would I be feeling throughout the day.

The big things were that I was ravenous despite having breakfast by around 10 and needed to get a snack (popcorn), which got me to lunch. After lunch I was still hungry so I ended up having to buy a yogurt parfait thing from the work vending machine thing (not really a vending machine but I don't have a good way to describe it).

By lunch I wouldn't say I was fatigued but I could tell I wasn't at my normal energy levels.

The hunger symptom has been a common one since starting the treatment, but maybe the newest one has been since the injection on Saturday. Lots of random acute, temporary pains from all parts of my body. Apparently that's a thing.

I think more importantly though is he overwhelming support I got from my coworkers throughout the day. Every person I saw who knew welcomed me back and checked in on me. Just really touching and knowing that people are there for you.
