Hello Rowdy,I would love to give you a big hug and tell you that you will get through this.:):) You are probably a bit run down at this moment,hence the sore throat.Give yourself time Rowdy,two steps forward ,one step back.I feel it takes quite a LONG time to get anywhere near back to normal.I am 16 months past my LAST chemo,and I still have many,many days( today was one) when I still feel as though I am not ever going to get back on top of things!And I have not lost a parent!! Baby steps Rowdy,you WILL be ok.Cheers xoxRobyn
