Never took a sleeping pill in my life...until chemo. I was wired while on AC/Cytoxin and Taxol. Onc prescribed Ambien, and it made a world of difference in the quality of my life. I worked through most of my chemo, and I needed whatever rest I could muster. Now, I occasionally break one in half. This website keeps me awake at night. I feel like I need to check in every couple of days so I don't miss something. Went to my second support group meeting tonight, and I told my husband, I just feel like I have learned so much from the website vs. what those gals at the support group are sharing.
