I went in to get fluids today, along with steroids & anti-nausea meds. I was feeling very weak, tired, fast pulse, short of breath on exertion, you name it. My Dad took me so we had a nice long visit at chemo (all 4 hours of it!) I asked my nurse when I would feel better. She said anywhere from 6-8 months. Although the drug leaves the body sooner than that, the effects hang around forever! The drugs all have a cumulative action, so their effects just keep building & building in your system. Now that they have worked their magic and practically did me in, they can start leaving any time now. Good riddance. Shirley C., thank you for your constant stream of inspiration. Carole T., thank you for the gift card. Karen L., thank you for your loyal following on the blog ~ and Happy Belated Birthday! Tonight, Karlynn & Mackenzie came over...the best medicine of all! Linda
