This has been such a great thread you started, Tammy! You have a way of getting through to all of us! Lyn, I loved your post, and I had to laugh at your comment about your family needing to see you down once in awhile to give you some sympathy. Families do have a way of taking you for granted sometimes. I can just see you with all those chairs in a circle! And I agree also about growing old gracefully. I am kicking and screaming all the way. I may be 75 but don't ever call me elderly! Keep up the humorous way of looking at life and it can't get you down. By the way, speaking of fibromyalgia: I had absolutely no fibro pain or any kind of arthritis pain during the 6 months I was on navelbine. It's now been a year and the pain is coming back with a vengeance. Another lady in the chemo lab said she had the same experience---no pain while on chemo. We decided maybe the arthritis type pain was under control then because arthritis is related to an overly active immune system, and the chemo surpresses the immune system. Anyone else had this experience? Hugs, Tricia
