How are things going with chemo? How are YOU doing?

Thank you Colleen, much appreciated and I will join the Ostomy Group.
We’ve found chemo to be a matter of continuous adjustment of diet and meds to avoid severe nausea, cramps related to colon surgery, and fatigue.
So far it seems to be a rough week following chemo (3hrs at the hospital then 48hrs with a take-home pic line pump) but then a pretty good second week before the next round of chemo.
It’s been a really tough winter where we live so we’re looking forward to warmer weather, sunshine, and fresh air walks soon.
