In remission

Hi me again! Well is has been a month 1/2 since my last chemo, still feeling tired, im back to work n i work at the computer, interviewing people taking applications, so i dont really kill myself but by 2pm im sooooooooooo tired, the good thing is im able to enjoy food again :) my hair is starting to show more now, and my eyebrows are back not fully but ok. I still wear my hats to work. My port has not been flushed for 6 weeks now and im a little concern about it, have an appt july 12. Tried to get it done in a local hospital but did they give me a hard time, so i will travel 1 1/2 hr to get it flushed, then will have it flushed every 3 months when i go c da dr. has any one experienced any problems with the port after treatment. thank u

Loly-
So I'm glad to hear, as of the beginning of the month, that you're officially in remission, that's wonderful! That scare you had in the spring with the swollen nodes was a false alarm?

Either way, it's OK to be tired, if nothing else-- if you hadn't undergone a difficult anti-cancer regimen-- you should STILL be tired because you haven't been very active at all over the last several months! You're bound to be out of shape a little bit. You'll have to work slowly to regain your stamina, but it'll come back. Plus with your diabetes, that could complicate things. Keep a good responsible diet going, try to get a little exercise now and again-- just a simple walk in the evenings for now if you can -- and you'll build back that endurance for sure.

I'm so happy for you dear, this is wonderful ...
