The Calm before the Next Round

It's been pretty good lately. I've just been sniffling and sneezing a little. I don't think that it's a real cold, maybe a side effect of the Herceptin? I think that my bones are cracking a little more, but maybe I just need to do more stretches. Other than that the only thing I'm asking is, "Where has my period gone?" OK, This may be TMI for some readers. I was warned that I will probably go into chemopause (vs. menopause) during chemo, but it's happened so fast. Women usually get it back 3 months post chemo. So now my usually regular self is in a limbo state wondering if my period is just delayed or completely stopped for the next few months. I have to be a in a perpetual state of "being prepared".

hey, cinthia! You were able to figure out the maze to post a comment. Congrats! For those of you still trying to fiure it out, I waws told that perhaps you need to have a gmail account. I already had one when I started this thing so I don't really know how it works.

Hm, is the bone cracking to be expected? Mom would tell you to take some Calcium Supplements, you know. Maybe you should drink some milk!

Maybe I will bring home some vitamins for your cracking bones when I come home for Thanksgiving. You are probably tired of taking pills, but these don't taste so bad.

Linda, we still have the Ca pills, the 2 BIG bottles you gave Mom. I am trying to increase my Ca intake.

kyunghee, is there a restorative yoga class somewhere closeby that you could take? i think that may help keep your body at ease.

i hate that perpetual state of having to be prepared for a period that may or may not come. what a nuisance!
