"Normal" activities
Hello everyone. I hope this does not sound like a silly question. But I wondered how you all handle what used to be "normal" activities. I am asking because we have had several days of out of town guests visiting us this past week. My "best" week in the course of chemo. They did not stay with us, but they came here to see me. So I felt the need to be a "hostess" and entertain them briefly at home and out for meals. That sort of thing. Aside from tiring more easily, I was able to cope. But I did alot. And I wonder if I should be "conserving" my energy and not doing so much between chemo sessions? 3 weeks ago my blood count was low and I was given Nulesta and advised to avoid crowds etc. but have felt fairly perky since so I thought it would be okay to act "normal". How do you balance these things? Should I just let my body dictate?
