Ah yes, well I guess I knew I would get tired but I felt so good in the beginning that I was just hoping I wouldn't. Breast cancer is like a ride you can't get off isn't it. (that analogy actually makes more sense to me than the journey one). Been riding high for a little bit after the dark chemo tunnel, now I'm on a downward slope again. I find it so frustrating when I don't have the energy to do things - I've put off doing the shopping for three days this week as I just couldn't summon the energy. And now here I am at 4am not able to sleep. Thanks all of you for the advice and support. It does help to know I'm not the only one going through this. Perhaps I will ignore the messy house today and get myself a copy of that book Helen. Hope you are all travelling okay on your "rides". Janet
