Chemo 4 down, 2 to go

Happy Holidays!!!

Had my 4th of 6 Treatments yesterday. Really looking forward to Feb 9....Last one....

All the things you guys with experience told me worked....Thanks for that.....


Drink LOTS of fluids, ice works....hands, feet, and chips in the mouth.

Watch what you eat the first week. Keep the workouts going or at least walk a few miles each day.

Stay positive.....darkness lurks and it is easy to fall into a depression.

New question.....I was told I would need RT at some point after chemo....what is the normal wait for that?

How long on the Hormone Therapy? looks like most of us are about 2 years......I

Thanks!!!!

Dear CLDCR,

Great that you are forging ahead through your treatments ... you are getting there, step-by-step ...

Yes, it takes some patience and endurance to get through all the treatments, but the time between each chemo treatment seems to go very quickly ... and you've got just a couple of treatments left now ...

Keep looking forward, stay focused on daily goals, keep your mind active, keep exercising as you can, rest and relax as needed, and keep drinking WATER before and after treatments ... and you can now personally attest to the importance of all these factors, from your postings !

I appreciate hearing your update, CLDCR ...

Stay the course on your treatments, as you look to the New Year ahead !

My best to you,
Iowa State "Cyclone"

Thanks Guys,

I really appreciate the guidance. Looking forward to 2016!!!!
