Just finished day 14; next week have 5 treatments in 4 days to make up for the July 4 holiday. Working hard to focus on self care and positive attitude. Have cut out everything except treatment and work. (Working mostly from home)
Friends want to visit but I am really tired and trying to sleep when I can.
Keep fighting friends!
