Kathy, your body has been through alot and you have to accept that it is tired. It is so hard to go through all the treatments, chem, radiation and whatever else you have been through. Try to work with you body and do what you are able to do and leave the rest till you feel better. Sometimes we are hard on ourselves and expect everthing to be normal when it isn't quite there. Relax and have a Happy Holiday. Mary L
