you can do this
Chemo can stink, but look at all of us who have done it, still do it and manage quite well-that will be you too. Let the people in your world help, they want to and you deserve it. My kids were 3 and 14 months when I did A/C and just having a friend in the house on the hard days was wonderful. Good distraction, help with kids and I could still be with them, etc. In the good times (which you have so many to look forward to-I'm sure of that) you can return favors and feel good about helping others.
Keep us posted on how you are doing and we are thinking of you.
