Sage advice indeed. There isn't much you can control; by keeping questions (and well meaning advice) to a minimum until you have a bit of a handle on things you can cut out a level of stress. There is no 'correct' approach, I think it pays to play it like you would any major interruption to your life. Some of us need space, others want a team hug. Stay true to your own temperament @Thewiseone and you won't go too far wrong. Good luck.
Good news for you @lezanne75. The races sound like a great idea, take pleasure and joy where you can find it. As too working through chemo, only one way to find out... Just don't be too disappointed if you can't. It's a bit of a lucky dip, some cruise through it, some don't. Marg xxx
