I still have 2 more sessions of TCH, with Herceptin until October 2012. During the chemo, some well meaning comments of folks can be tough to take. As I was previously without medical problems, went to the gym, stayed slim, I thought I'd tolerate the chemo well. NOT! It has really taken it's toll on me...IBS, neuropathy, muscle aches, headaches, mouth sores ....etc., you've heard these already (even my nails hurt.)
Hearing of ladies accomplishing amazing tasks and coping so well made me feel like a failure at first. So glad we keep a positive attitude on this forum, I have benefited greatly from that. And I think you all will understand when I say that hearing of other's struggles has helped me put my journey in perspective and made me feel much less alone and given me strength to cope.
A big thank you to all my sisters on this site.
