    Thanks so much, Lisa.  I remember the other journies and I think of those now about to embark on theirs or currently on the journey.  It's not easy, but doable and worth it.

    NED

    Congratulations on your first NED. It is a great feeling, and one that never loses its meaning, no matter how many times we hear it.

    Hi Lise

     

    Just remember no matter how bad it seems there is always someone else who has it worse. I hope and pray that all your testing comes back with a good report.

    Thank you all. How long does

    Thank you all. How long does the fatigue last? Some days I have a few good hours and almost feel normal. Other says I feel like an over tired over stimulated toddler!  My appetite is good, and I can taste most things, though it's only about 50%, but I'm still happy about that.  But the fatigue...omg. Mind is willing. It the body is weak.

    I am!!

    I am feeling very confident!  I've been having ear pain too...my right ear, side where cancer was.  It is not too bad today, but last week really hurting!  It's good to hear from you :)
