Flori, my friend, I am glad to hear from you even though you sound frustrated and down. As Steph said, stable is remarkable and would bring a celebration were you not suffering such exhausting side effects. Feeling lousy begets overwhelming discouragement and even despair. A lack of a good quality of life makes living hard and depression seeps in. I have nothing to offer but my sympathy, Flori


I will pray today's infusion goes well. As a suggestion to get what you need out of the staff, do not hesitate to be vulnerable. Let them know you are afraid and that their face popping in, however brief, to check on you is comforting.
