After treatment #4, I was wondering if I really wanted or needed to continue with #5 and #6. Then my friend Jean here reminded me that it will NOT get worse and I reminded myself that these side effects are temporary. So I ended up sticking it out and finishing up all the way thru #6.
Any side effects that you might need help with...post it out there and I can almost guarantee there will be others that had to deal with it and may provide some helpful hints on dealing with it.
Its tough...we all know it...if we can help you in any way, we will try. You are over the halfway mark to the finish line....
