Re: Am I expecting to much?
Thank you for the encouragement and advice. I guess I was feeling so strong, able to teach full time, that this kind of snuck up on me. So tired. And so much to do! If the sore throat doesn't get better I will find a family doc or ENT to see. I was never sick before nor had a family doc when I discovered my lump with BSE. At 46 I had only 2 mammo's...then bam, ob/gyn is sending me off for a biopsy. Pretty crazy knowing the only docs you have seen in years is ob/gyn, surgeon and oncologists! I am still getting used to "being sick".
