Hey Pam,
I am with the other gals on the cumulative effects. I just finished my #12 Taxol last Friday. I have had to take a nap every day so far.Just exhausted.
On the dirty house note. I was so worried about my house too. I had dust bunnies bigger than my kids. Now is the time to take care of you! The dust and dirt can wait.Financially we are a bit strapped too. I haven't worked since 12/07. I figure we can do without a few of the extra things right now. Just focus on you. No one can fault you for a less that clean house. If they do, thats their problem not yours. Focus on you. The rest will come.
And as Flori said. Let others help. I don't think that is easy for any of us to do. Just know that as you would want to help others in your situation, you should to let them help you!
Cheryl
