Oh Michelle, I can tell by your post that you're in the midst of the worst of it now. I was certainly there too- those first 2 weeks after treatment were the worst! I think it was even magnified by not having to go to treatment - the focus was just on getting better and that in no way was happening quickily enough for me! Look at your progress in weeks not days - that really helped me. I asked (only half jokingly!) to be put into a medically induced coma that first week because I was so miserable - it seemed like a really good idea - let my body heal without having to consciously endure the slow process.
Have faith - you will get better than this! This time, one week from today, i hope you can find yourself amazed by what's better and that just continues for you - one week at a time!
Hang in there!
