Hi Kat,

I can completely relate to how you feel. I am the only woman in a house of five myself (we have three boys), and I was outnumbered and "misunderstood" before cancer, let alone now. My hubby has been my hero through all of this and my boys all pitched in to help, but I have noticed that since treatment is over, and now that I am looking a little more like myself, that they think everything is back to normal. Even my co-worker, who is like a sister to me is frustrated with the new me. I was always very quick and on top of things, and the one who kept everything in order and now I am like a senile, confused, aching, slow little old lady. She keeps saying, "what's wrong with you Kelly....."
Geeeee... I WONDER...... maybe it was the six months of getting poisoned, or the two months of frying......or the fact that I have been completely traumatized.....

While we are venting :-) , let me add one more thing. You know that annoying reference to "must be that time of the month" every time a woman is crying or angry? Well now that that doesn't apply anymore (chemopause- I don't dare let them know THAT word exists!), now its "Honey, have you been taking your Lexapro???" Can you believe it?! Men are pathetic. Sorry, I just had to vent.

Love, Kelly
