Hello , Great email- It is so true. But when you get through it; you will be a surviror and stronger for it. Take care-SharonTrisha wrote: What a wonderful letter , and great advise. I could never have said it better. Trisha -- Re: Looking for ideas.... Dear , I know when I had A/C and Taxol, it "built" up - every treatment, I felt worse than the first, and my nurses assured me that it is normal. As for the tizzy thing? I remember feeling I couldn't read, hear or see enough information about breast

cancer - I was totally immersing myself in a world I needed to know everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, about...it was starting to consume every waking hour of my life. You're burning out on BC!!! Very normal...especially when you are feeling the way you do at this point in your treatment. You need to break away - find a hobby, read a new book, listen to music, immerse YOURSELF in something YOU want to do!!! This is "" time! It is very possible that you overate - sometimes we get very ambitious because we're hungry. Eat smaller portions, wait, go back and eat again if you're hungry. As for the heartburn thing, ask your oncologist's office if there's something you can take, like a Pepcid AC which was a godsend for me - that's what they are there for. Don't assume because you took your anti-nausea pills, that you are being a baby and complaining. You should be comfortable - PERIOD! - they are

PAID to make YOU comfortable. And don't assume because your friend couldn't take those pills, that you can't - everyone is different, and if you feel something you think is an adverse reaction, call them. I feel your pain - I really do. I've heard people describe treatment as everything from the bottom of the abyss, to the closest to death they've ever experienced. Just know that many of us here HAVE BEEN THERE (past tense) and we're here to help you along this journey. VENTING is a good thing honey - do it, yell at the computer, stomp your feet. It is NOT fair - not to any one of us, but you will get past it, that I promise you...and then HUG yourself - tell yourself that what you are going through is temporary, and you WILL get through it. You're almost done!!! Just remember - YOU ARE A WINNER! Best, HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR VALENTINES RESERVATION YET?
