May 2016

Just had my third chemo this past Monday, and I'm doing better than I had expected. Fatigue isn't as bad as last time, and neither is the digestive situation.
Whenever I go to the oncologist's office, whether for my treatment or other, I'm always struck by how awful other people's situations are. Breast cancer is really nothing compared to lung or rectal. I'm SO HAPPY I gave up smoking, because the survival rates for lung cancer are way worse than for breast.
And now I'm just about halfway through my chemo!
