Let your body take the time it needs to rest, go for a little walk every day if you can, and get the nourishment you need, even if it comes in liquid form and/or soft foods. Gordon is 5 months out of treatment now, and while he's doing a lot more, he still gets very tired. He doesn't expect to be back to work for another month or two. Hang in there, and keep your eye on that light at the end of the tunnel. Anne
