We all do what we have to do to get thru our treatments. I dont know how you deal with your ongoing pain problems. Nobody should endure that for days let alone years!
Sorry to get sidetracked, Will. Your question is a good one. Im sure you will get more different answers. Best to rest when you need it and soon you will wake up one day and feel almost human.
Best wishes with your recovery!!!!
