What has helped you through your journey?

I love this thread. In fact, I think it's the longest and most informed ( lol at times too) I've come across. Thank you for creating. Yes, water, water and more water. Walk each day to relieve those sore joints and as most have said stay clear of people with colds. I was having chemo over Xmas last year. Avoid if you can everyone wanting to kiss you during the festive season which I hadn't thought about until my nurses explained the possible risks. Just explain, friends won't be offended. Calcium for your bones and vitamin D to help absorb the calcium tablets eg. Caltrate. I hadn't realised that the steroid we take demexathone ( can't spell it at the moment) takes months to fully get out of your body. The added weight I put on and fluid retention is now starting to leave my system finally. It's taken well over 6mths. This may not be a side effect of everyone but it was for me. I'm thankful as its lifted my spirits. Oh and I love what someone said in the chemo ward to me, she said just think we are getting a face lift inside our body's with all our cells being replaced with new ones! Our complexions haven't looked better! All the best you gorgeous and wonderful people and happy new year ! Xoxo Donna
