Bonnie - When I was dx 7 yrs ago I decided to take up painting. I have a couple of relatives who are good artists & I've always thought I should give it a try too. I've been doing water color & pencil, pen drawings. It's been fun - I'm not great, but have done some pieces I really like. Other than painting supplies, I do have other stuff I could clearn out & am going to try to work on it.
Bill - I try to eat fairly healthy, but good reminder to step up the intention of eating well - & timing small meals like you suggested. Summer time is a good time to get lots of fresh produce too. I have been craving more carbs lately though which has been a struggle. Could be the fatigue is triggering it, or maybe the chemo itself - hard to tell. When I was on xeloda I wasn't craving this junk at all - nor was I feeling this fatigue.
Thanks so much.
