By not using the narcotics, actually aided the recovery period. Want to take that nap you used to feel guilty about?
Thank you!
I am a personal trainer and I just finished up 6 months of hard core inpatient chemotherapy & found your recovery interesting! I have my LAST chemo on Nov 11th, and I was looking for information on recovery, trying to figure out if I could prepare myself for the next powerlift in March.
I had a lot of questions about getting back to normal and this really helped! I am scared ..
It has been 4 weeks since my last treatment. I had a lumpectomy with lymph node dissection in October of 2015.
All my life I have been healthy, ate vegetarian diet, taught yoga, danced, coached others on how to live positive lifestyles, so when I was diagnosed with uterine cancer everything shifted. His mid way scan during EOX showed it hadn't worked as it should of, was a big disappointment after seeing good results ourselves. There is no shame in letting family and friends help you with something that is too tiresome.

Since I had surgery in June to remove part of my esophagus it has been hard to eat like I use to.
If you recovered after having far more extensive Chemo than he did; there is hope for him. I have painful physio twice a week but know I need to have this to completely recover as I had bone cancer and have a prothesis in my leg. :0)Thank you Dan Your posting has certainly opened my eyes for it has given me hope to get on with it. I just finished chemo for breast cancer. After this experience, I believe in integrative medicine (conventional & natural combined), because antibiotics, and other pills, heal one thing and kill another. Wishing for you a long, wonderful, loving life with lots of great grand kids, nieces, nephews, family members and friends to smother/shower you with love.I find your story extremely uplifting. By Saturday the chemo would kick in and I would be out of it all day Saturday and Sunday but by Monday I was back at work.
Perhaps where you were feeling better at two months; maybe it will take him three or four as he is older.
