Thank You
Jakeca, your message could not have come at a better time for me. I was just thinking about the radiation to come and wondering hopelessly if I will ever get my energy back. Feeling very depressed, too, of course. Thank you for a very encouraging post!0 -
Congratulations!
Heartfelt congratulations for completing your treatments! A difficult task, at best - and, you did it! So glad you're already feeling better, with energy returning. Thanks for sharing...
Kind regards, Susan0 -

So sorry you're depressed; although, it's totally understandable. Especially considering where you are. It will get better for you, no doubt. Radiation will further your fatigue; but, still - you'll begin to heal from chemo. I napped a lot during radiation! Take good care of yourself, dear.
Kind regards, Susan0 -

Moopy, I so understand. I was exactly where you were during the fifth treatment. It hit me hard -- perhaps the hardest one of the bunch. I was so fatigued at one point that my legs shook when I was standing. But, I have a feeling you will be like me: a horrible fifth treatment and an easy sixth one. I swear I was over this last one in a few days. And now I feel great. I mean really great. No effects left, going strong. Here's to finishing up, Moopy.

Spring Cleaningmimivac said:Spring cleaning!
So glad you are feeling energetic. Isn't it cathartic to get in a nice deep cleaning? I plan to do the same when I finish my rads in late June. You go!
Awwwwww...If any of you lovely people out there run out of stuff to clean....Please don't be afraid to contact me! Moopster, I cannot imagine you being depressed with such lovely dogs (Oh and that turquoise man...LOL) Hope everyone out there is feeling OK.....Huge Hugs Jxxxxxxxxx0 -

Jakeca, congratulations on the umph to get down and dirty with the house cleaning, so glad you are feeling more energetic!
Moopy, I promise it will get better and you will become more like your old self once all the treatments are behind you. I know exactly how you feel as I too have been there. One day once this is behind you it will suddenly dawn on you that your energy level is up! Be kind to yourself my friend, this is just a short period in the grand scheme of your life. You are gonna do great!
Much Love,

Thank you, Re, Susan, Julia, and Mimi. This fifth chemo has left me with wobbly legs, just like Mimi said. I appreciate your messages so much. I will do as you say, Re, and be more patient with myself. Thank you all, my friends. You have helped me, once again.0 -

You give me hope that I will someday feel like digging into anything with a little energy. I am too very depressed and feeling as if I will never return to "normal". I am also suffering from the shaking leggs. I had my last chemo on April 10th and was hoping to be feeling some what better by now. It is still taking all the energy I can muster just to take a shower. Here's to better days ahead. Nancy0 -
