Hi Liz
It's hard to be positive when you have chemo and radio to get through. But get through it, you will. I just keep reminding myself that it's short term pain for long term gain. The half way mark of chemo was the hardest for me too. It feels like you still have so far to go but your mind is screaming for you to stop but you know you can't. Normally if you have treatment for something it makes you feel better but this is bizarre because it makes you feel worse. I sought some counselling at this time and it really helped. Everything does happen so quickly that you just don't have time to get your head around it all. I finished radiotherapy on 19/12/14 and am now just having herceptin 3 weekly. I agree with Deanne, plan something nice for the 3rd week to give you something to look forward to. Take each day as it comes and try to enjoy the days that you feel o.k. Hang in thee and enjoy your short holiday. Karen xox
