8 Weeks of Chemotherapy
OK...I'm doing something different here. As some of you all mey be aware, I am fighting cancer at the base of my brain. It was detected early, so the outlook seems positive.
Anyway, I'm on week two of chemo with 8 weeks remaining. I guess you can say that this is a sort of journal noting the mood swings, fatigue, etc. that I've been feeling so far. I've been getting PMs from a bunch of friends and strangers asking for updates and inquiring about my well-being. I really appreciate the outpouring of support...so this is my way of keeping everyone posted and letting you know how I'm feeling. I'll also be putting up a song or two to reflect my mood. I welcome everyone into this thread...let's just keep it positive.

good luck with chemo, stay strong!
