Thanks for the Welcome. I'm doing o.k. I'm currently going thru a 6 month
Chemotherapy treatment. I just finished my 4th month. Recently returned
to work, which is a huge difference. I get really tired towards the
afternoon and by the evening I'm exhausted. Some days I feel like I don't
even have the strength to move. My employer is very understanding and
flexible, but in the back of my mind I'm wondering if I came back too
soon???? Is this normal for Cancer patients?

Ok. Anna, so you thought you would just slip in quietly huh? Welcome to
our
wonderful forum and thanks for responding. It is always more comforting
when one can speak to one who has the same type cancer. Good luck, how are
you doing now? Your friend, lilliian
