@Cyclo Lyn, I just kept nodding as I read your post, you've got it, exactly what I was trying to say. What I liked was you could see it and decided that doing less and being more patient with you is what you need right now. I couldn't agree more, I found it so difficult when I started chemo, I was so ill i had to stop working and lost 3 months, was horrific. I realised however, it was about me learning to stop, to put me first and nurture me right through it. It wasnt about pushing through as I'd done for many years..it was finally about me, once I let go, I was so much better. I also recommend the Counselor too, they are invaluable if you have a great rapport. Definitely see the Surgeon if you feel it's not healing too. Maybe just say to yourself, this is just for now, my body needs time to heal, when you get out the other side, slowly build back up to what you want in terms of fitness. It took me a very long time to build back up but I am finally doing it. Melinda
