Glenna, Its so tough to hit the sweet spot between too much and too little activity. I hope that getting some down time and generous amounts of rest will help things balance out a bit. I am still pretty new to the mets world, and to chemo, which is what affects me the most, and in somewhat unpredictable ways. Its very easy to run with activity when energy is up, since I know it may plunge soon. We do muddle through, though, one way or the other.
Spring, That is good news about the Taxol doing its thing. I just had news that my eye tumor is regressing and my vision is improving. Monday I will have a CT to chest and see what is going on with lungs. That will be the first look since staging back in April. I do weekly Taxol, too.
Today a friend is picking me up for a short visit to a wool and yarn show at a fairgrounds nearby. Oh, boy! Color, wooly things, and people who love to work with yarns, what a blast. I am a basic knitter, but always get psyched seeing the raw materials.
Hugs to all,
Mame
