@DearB
I just had a little troll of you (I think it's polite to know who you are talking to) and found your valium post. I didn't read any of the answers. I've been taking 2 X 5mg tablets every night since chemo began in June. I've slept like a baby throughout the entire ordeal (sleeping pills don't work for me). I never want to take 3 and have been a chronic insomniac all my life. If I'm addicted then that is the least of my worries, lol.
In the end I don't feel so worried about being cut into, but the further I can get away from chemo, the better. I haven't had radiation yet so can't comment on that. But try and take my valium from me and I'll eat you.
Thanks for your message of empathy.
