Hi Steve, I'm with you on the roller coaster. My main emotion is anger and I fierce, scary fierce. I'm not completely rational and I don't recognize it until it's passed. Last week I was on a war path and nearly fired all my doctors.

I have received 5 of 6 chemotherapy treatments. I had one yesterday and I spoke to my oncologist about my volatile emotions. He said it narmol part of the experience. My body is under attack because of the drug being infused in me. He was very reassuring that this is an accurate problem with and end date.

I find exercise and accomplishing any task will make me feel better.

After this phase is completed I guess the next is phase weit and see how the therapy worked. We are dealing with cancer in a brave new world. There are so many remarkable treatment options and genetic testing that points to who will benefit from which treatment. Even a recurrence is as terrible as it used to be. It opens up a new world of treatment options

I'm in a good space today, but about 5 days following treatment and a for a week I'm not right. I'm emotional out of control, but it's coming to an end.

Keep up the positive action. Godspeed to you.
Denise

Hope the best for you on your chemo treatment. Some say it's not as bad as back in the day, well, it sure isn't a picnic now a days. Not sure how I was about the testy part but being out of energy can make us a bit on edge. My meds are forever ones, but like you say, we move on to the next ones when one stops working. Wish you the best on your journey. Best to all.
