Subject: RE: LilyFestre - Half-way point with chemo! Yippee!
I've been offline for a while, but am hangin' in with you. I'm glad you're able to get things done. Early on in my treatments, i was lucky enough to have my good stretches of time coinciding with things I wanted to do, but later on, I had to cancel lots of activities because they fell on times of weakness. I didn't have a partner to see me through and be with me if I had to pull the plug on any activities I started if I reached my energy limits, and it will get worse before it gets better, but I'm damn proud of how you're seeing it all through and the spirit you show, so keep it all up! Use caution and good judgement.

Books helped me at times more than music ot TV when I was unable to sleep and was too sick to concentrate on other things and was bothered by sounds. Ambien did the trick for me for sleeping when all the medicines that were supposed to make you sleepy, didn't.
