@CeeCee it's a long haul but you sound like you have accepted it for what it is and that will help you through. You'll get to know the patterns of each cycle of chemo and recognise your good and bad days and be able to work with that. I found qigong and meditation have helped me through (I'm not really all new age either!) look good feel better have some online sessions for free.(lgfb.org.au)
Have a good weekend ladies!
