Tired

I havent felt up to dressing up, putting on make up and will do so after the next Chemo, lucky No. 7 next Thursday. I will get my zest for socializing back Im sure!…

Chicken and Leek Soup -- Just like grandma's
The beauty of this recipe is that you have the soup base and add to it depending on whether you can simply tolerate a nutrient dense broth or a hearter soup. The soup base freezes really well, so you can always have some on hand. In my good week during chemo I would make a big batch for times when I didn't have the energy…

After Chemo Finishes
3 weeks later and it feels like one week later for me! I am exhausted and having afternoon 2 hour sleeps. I have enough energy to stroll for 15 or 20 mins and not doing all the housework like I would have normally by this stage. I have had an issue with my lungs and noted a difference in breathing a deep breath. Felt like…
