After chemotherapy

It can be challenging trying to find your groove as many of the medications tend to drain most. I would suggest talking with your doctor in a true transparent conversation, as perhaps they can suggest other methods to help you feel better in all aspects of treatment. I've attached a few tips that may be helpful. I'm praying and wishing you the very best. XO

I know it can be scary. In fact, I was just writing an article about how it feels like it’s never going to get better when I’m in the thick of it. I always have that fear of “what if my life is this now?” Even though, evidence to the contrary is in abundance. In other words, I have never ended up stuck in the bad times. At least not yet. I spent three months in the hospital while all this was going on, which, as I’m sure you know, isn’t the best place to get “happy.” The mental part of cancer where they tell you to keep that “positive outlook” to help with recovery isn’t so easy, is it. It took me a while to figure it out and i still have bad days where I get what I call “the blahs.” Takes me a day or two to get back on track, but all in all it’s pretty good. You will get there too. Just know you are not alone and if there’s anything we can do to help just ask. Keep on keepin’ on, DPM

My heart goes out to you! I, as well as many of us, have been there. I assure you that it will get better. I definitely recommend contacting your doctor and discussing how the current oral chemo is making you feel. Keep in mind it is chemotherapy and that is a side effect, however, there may be a solution. Perhaps there can be a change in the dosage or medication/treatment. May I suggest moving forward, keeping track of what you take, and don't go longer than 60-90 days without speaking with your doctors? You are your greatest advocate.
