Christina, it is natural to feel as you do. Especially just a few days after a dose of chemo. I expect just about everyone here who is receiving chemo would identify with you. I don't WANT to be doing it either. But I feel I NEED to be doing it. It may be more disconcerting because some of us fell into a "gray area". At least I did. There was no right or clear cut answer. I weighed things and made a decision. As someone pointed out, if it becomes unbearable I can always quit.
But I also looked back in my journal and, after what seemed an eternity, but was really just a few days, the discomfort from the chemo lifted and I began feeling alot better and I saw that I CAN do this....so can you. Keept the faith...
