It sure is a hard slog when you don't have that treatment end date. I really know what you mean. It seems like such a long time that I have been playing this game. Don't get me wrong, I am so glad to still be here with my hubby and daughters, but I also feel fed up at times, that there is no real break from it. I wrote myself a goal list ages ago and I have achieved four of them. I have found that my goals tend to revolve around "time" and not money. Funny how your priorities change.
I am also thinking of having a go at acupuncture. I've heard it is quite good for people having cancer treatments.
Take care Sam.
