I have been on Gemzar, just finished second round (three weeks on, one week off). I have afew issues but overall doing ok. I am working on fixing constipation, reduced appetite, more fatigue, some brain fog, lower back discomfort, night cramps (nothing to do with meds). I have a bad back so I just need to work on, taking it easy, asking others to help me more. It helps to always have purpose in life, right? It helps me to feel/know, that I am useful; with work, family, friends, doing more self care. Does anyone do massages? I started going to a massage school, the students practice on people for a good price ($40 for 50 minutes, $5 off if your over 55). I check in with a physical therapist once a month, to emcourage me to excerise, etc., he said it's ok for me to do massages, let them know about my medical condition. Ladies I know this is a crazy question sort of, but does anyone know of a dating site for cancer patients? I won't pursue that until I am officially single. My husband and I have not lived together for a long time, about our only connection is with our adult kids. I am going to talk with him before I move forward, because of the medical condition, he does try to support me. Anyway I am rambling abit ladies, sorry. I think about each of you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
