Burning out my support system
After undergoing chemo and radiation in October of last year, my monthly chemo cycles go for another year through Nov '23. (Grade II Inoperable Brain Stem Astrocytoma.) I have good days and bad days, and feel as if I am burning out my support system (friends and husband) on my bad days. I know this is a "new normal". I know the best case I have a chronic illness, hopefully for some time ahead of me. Everyone seems to be pulling back after the first couple of months, but my monthly chemo symptoms remain.
