Re: Aging early from the effects of chemo

My wife lost weight from worry, and then the first treatment took a toll on her. Now she knows what to expect and is dealing with the whole cancer thing better. The worry, lack of sleep and not eating aged her some, she always looked tired.

Now that she is sleeping better and eating well, her color is back and the tired look is gone. She still worries.

I'm sure your wife's normal looks will return after a little time, rest, food, exercise and most important your TLC and understanding.You her caregiver can make her days better. Hugs and kisses do wonders
