Even though I felt like crap, I did get out and try to do things I enjoyed, even if it was a drive somewhere pretty. I did jigsaw puzzles to keep my mind off how poor I felt. Anything that made me happy I allowed myself that luxury. I had friends paint my toe nails.

My doctor prescribed Diazepam (valium) because of the stress of all the treatments. In fact, he brought it up and suggested it. I also was placed on Lexapro for anxiety/depression. I live in CA and my last two cycles I did smoke weed but that's a personal choice for everyone. It gave me an appetite and relaxed me.

But with all the various Dr. visits and treatments, it gets old really quick. Just know that when it's over, you'll feel like you can conquer anything! Hugs and well wishes!
