What you are feeling is how most of us feel at some point in this marathon of treatment. I know I felt the second half of my 18 weeks of chemo was the hardest. I suppose it is just simply that our energy levels are getting pretty low.

Hang in there and come and chat on here when you feel alone. You will always find someone who understands. Take care. Deanne xxx
