Hi, all. Never got around to joining but I've been lurking here, looking for answers since I got dx'd last May. Glad to be part of this group--well, you know what I mean.

My hair is growing back, fatigue is lessening. I kept working through the whole shebang, taking days here and there and going home early when I was too tired to work. Had no debilitating side effects from chemo (other than fatigue), but it was certainly no picnic. Now on my last week of radiation therapy, I have a burn right at the underside of my breast where it meets the chest. So that's where I'm at.
