On my post chemo days, when I am the lowest, the thoughts enter my mind that I am no longer good for much. I don’t feel well enough to listen to a friend’s troubles, I can barely write notes of encouragement, cooking is out of the question(!) and watching TV makes me feel like a slug! But I remind myself that this too shall pass, and it does. We are not contagious; join a group, do easy volunteer activities, etc. you are valuable!!

I guess that I am lucky in that I enjoy watching TV and loving on my dogs. On those low days, I enjoy a day of rest and relaxation. I have learned to not look at life by what I do not feel like doing but to try to make the most of what I can. I know that I have to limit activities when I have the pump on or I have to limit activities when I get it off. Learn to enjoy your time when you do not feel like caring for others and just take care of yourself. You are of value as a person even when you cannot care for others.
