Hi Lisa - First, I'm jealous of your trip to New Mexico and your green chiles. They're so wonderful and those of us who live in the Southwest are so lucky to be able to get them when they're fresh. I'm sure you're really going to enjoy them.
One of the things society seems to expect of someone with cancer is that they always be optimistic. Well, that's just bs as far as I'm concerned. There are going to be times when doing things that we used to be able to do quite easily are going to exhaust us. And the changes our bodies go through during treatment can be horrible. We have to have friends that we can talk to and openly discuss this with. So, Lisa, even though we haven't met in person I just want to encourage you to think of us as your friends and people you can talk to about anything. Good days, bad days, crazy days, whatever.
I do hope , as Diane says so well, you'll feel better now that you're back in your home routine. You need a chance to recover from the exertion of your trip and your treatments. If this doesn't pass, and you become concerned and would like help from us beyond listening ears, just let us know. I can feel your pain, and am glad you're letting it out, but if we can help you in other ways just let us know. We're here for you.
Take good care of yourself,
Pat
