Hi Miyong, If I understand correctly, you live in Tucson and are having treatment there? There is also a St. Mary's in Rochester, MN where the Mayo Clinic is based.
A diagnosis of clear cell is hard to face, but 1C is early stage and often has good outcomes. I, too, had 6 rounds of chemo although modified because of peripheral neuropathy. I didn't have many other symptoms besides losing my hair which is traumatic, of course. Exercise was very helpful in my recovery, not only physically, but emotionally as well. I also did/and do yoga.
I hope you are getting lots of support from family or friends. Please feel free to write me.
My husband and I are planning to look at a retirement community in Tucson or Scottsdale. Warm weather is appealing. I live in New England.
