Yesterday I had my first check up since starting back on chemo maintenace a month ago. A regimit that is expected to last a minimum of two more years, or 23 months if you are like me and keeping track at home. When asked if I have noticed anything since starting back on chemo, the only response I had was fatigue. I prefaced that with several statements on how I have exercised more lately, the kids have been wearing me out and that I am staying up later. My terrific nurse practioner didn’t bite on my ability to push aside possible relationship between the chemo and return of my fatigue. The response I got:
“Sounds like you are full of 50% optimism, and 50% denial.”
