Vicky - great news! Congrats!!!! I did a low toxic chemo (see my stats) and I found I just wanted to nap a bunch - was really tired - but more so the first 4 weeks- then I started taking the chemo in pill format and it seemed to work better and the exhaustion was not so bad...
If you haven't heard my thoughts on good reading material - my biggest tips are these:
Get a juicer and start juicing - think this saved my bum with helping sooooo much in my energy level - as you can get so many nutrients in 3-4 cups of fresh juice and you don't have to EAT all that fiber and actual food... it is a great way to help your energy when doing chemo.
Also - my favorite book (now I use it as a daily manual) but if you ever wanted a book about how to cure (yes CURE!) cancer - please read this one.
A Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook - by David Frahm.
there are two Cancer Battleplans - get the SOURCEBOOK - it is the better and latest version with lots more stuff in it.
It is a simple read - it explains so much and gives a TON of information on how to fight cancer.
I am doing this approach along with all the medical treatments as I have yet to hear one of my doctors say that they can cure the cancer.... they keep saying they will only prolong my life.... ugh! So, I want to live - and live for more than 5 or 10 years ---(I just turned 45!) so thinking 40 more is more what I had in mind!
Hope this helps - but while you are home and recooping - try reading this book! :-) Amazon.com has them half price almost if they have a used copy....
Feel free to email me if you want to chat about it:
