So guys how have you been as far as progress? Is the tiredness still there as much? HOPEFULLY IT IS GETTING LESS AND LESS. I know you all have appts coming up,but the way we feel means so much as well. John(FNHL-1-4A-5/10)

    hey
    Hey John, how are you doing! I have been feeling really lousy lately, you know the feeling, tired eyes, worn down. I have that small voice in the back of my head telling me something is not right. I can't wait to have my PET Scan on Tuesday, once I know that the cancer is gone, that little voice will stop talking!!!! LOL Vinny

    Hi there John
    So good to hear from you. I'm doing OK. I think pretty much like Vinny. I will probably feel just fine once my CT is done on Friday and my MD can let me know how I'm feeling. LOL! I think the worry about it makes me tired. If I could take all of the stress and anxiety out of the mix I would feel better. However that part of our new "normal" is a force to be reckoned with. As the followups get closer it kind of consumes you and then it gets difficult to know exactly how you feel. So I will have a much better assessment after Friday. How are you doing? I hope all is well and that you don't expect too much from yourself. The process is slow. Take good care my friend. Mary

    Hey guys its about the same here. I don't really feel wore out,just not 100% yet. I have those tired eyes too. Eye Dr. says it is dry eyes. I tryed some eye drops that Sue told me about and it helped quite a bit, but they still feel a little tired. I don't really push myself,especially in the winter time. Don't get outside too much cause I can't stand the cold.I have had a cold since right after Xmas that I can't shake. Its more in my upper chest now. First cold I have had in years. I don't go for any follow ups until March. That will be another pet scan and starting the rituxin. Like you,I just take it day by day. If I could just get rid of this tired eye thing I would feel so much closer to 100%. John(FNHL-1-4A-5/10)
