Unfortunately, it is a balancing act. It seems everything we take has a side effect or some other potential consequence. But, things did not look good when I got diagnosed 3 years ago. So, I am just happy to be alive. I shouldn't be. I will deal with the consequences of doing whatever I have to do to stay that way. Nearly dying gives me a completely different perspective than most. It was far worse than any chemo that I have taken so far. The side effects don't compare to the pain and sickness associated with dying. By the way, you are about 16 hours ahead of me. I am in Arizona. Happy Tuesday morning to you.
