I know how that is, I was on chemo for a year and takes a bit out of you.

On a curios note, I told my wife during chemo stages that when my hair came off I would get a Harley, an earing and a tatoo. After all, in Miami a bald guy riding a Harley with earing and a tatoo grow on trees so I just be part of the bunch. One day I got up and decided to do it but checked with the doctor first. Would'nt you know it, could not do that either due to the chance of getting an infection so it was back to square one on a different plan.

Best thing I noted about chemo is to mentally program your stages and take it as much of a joke as you can. It will give you a better edge mentally and you will not project the usual I am sick type attitude.
