LF, have you noticed-- OK, the pain and weakness get worse with each chemo. But!!! Each time, you manage daily living more wisely to bounce back quicker each time. That's YOU, on autopilot.

A nice benefit to getting older, I say.

I think a LOT of newly-diagnosed survivors would be helped by hearing this-- by directing their attention to the inner drive for health that ALSO kicks in during treatment. It's the upside that balances the downside.
