OT - Responding Well to Treatment
Yay!!
How are you handling the side effects of the chemotherapy? I have a dear friend whom I went to college with, who is a physician - a mammography radiologist in fact - who got breast cancer, and she used acupuncture to deal with the chemotherapy side effects. She never puked, never felt uncomfortably ill. I don't know if it would be helpful to you, nor whether I believe in acupuncture, but I know it worked for her.
Keep up with the good results and great attitude!

Chemo makes me very tired, decreases my appetite for the first few days after treatments, makes me nauseaous on & off for the first week, and makes me terribly absent-minded/forgetful - difficult to concentrate at times. The latter one, apparently, is called "chemo brain". They've tried adjusting my anti-nausea meds, which was an improvement (taking more of the sublingual), but I still have it. All & all, pretty tolerable, though. I really can't do acupuncture, it's just a $$ issue, but that's okay :)
Thanks for your well-wishes!
