I was given injections of neupagen to help my wbc count...so I never got any infections even though I was around my students every day. I also did alot of resting on the weekends after my infusions. I bought a bunch of scarves to cover up my hair loss. Food and drink were not appealing so I lost a little weight...but honestly I think just being busy with life helped alot. My chemo ended when the school year did so they gave me the summer off before starting radiation. Of course this was in 2011 so maybe I'm forgetting some of the tough stuff. What I really remember is how kind and thoughtful everyone was during my treatment. Hoping your treatment (if you go that route) goes as smoothly!
