Hi Carla
It's me Jen again. I finished WBR about 8 weeks ago and I hate to tell you that I am just now feeling like my old self. I am still weak and not back into shape, but many things have improved.
My onc told me that while on the Dexamethasone or whatever steroid you are on is causing most of the symptoms. Doubled with the radiation, you will feel lots of things all of which are normal.
Remember you might feel lousy but that stuff is in there working, killing those nasty tumors. Take Prevacid for your tummy, sleep when you can and make sure to move around as much as possible to keep blood flowing and help healing.
If you have any specific questions you can e-mail me--I had every side effect under the sun. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Don't be afrain to ask for help--but remember this is not killing you, it is going to bring you one step closer to NED!!! Focus on that and keep up your spirits whatever way you can.
I will keep you in my prayers and keep fighting
Love hugs and prayers Jen
