Re: update on my progress

Pam I am also chiming in that of course you are tired - who wouldn't be with everything that you have been through? Only other thing I can mention here is that 7 years ago, pre BC, I had a hysterectomy and just could not get my energy back. Had some blood work done 3 weeks later and it seems that the hospital had sent me home from the surgery anemic... my big surgeon had trusted one of her underling residents to check everything out when I was released 5 days after the surgery... seems she signed off on my blood work without noticing my extremely low counts...

Of course taking iron supplements corrected this - just a thought.

and of course eating some chocolate couldn't hurt

all the best
