You know, any kind of a change, even if it's a good change, brings a certain amount of stress. After my son completed his Tx, we had that "what now?" feeling We were so used to going to the hospital every day for Rad Tx and now here was another big change! Any kind of change takes getting used to until you get to the point where you have a familiar routine to depend on. I would certainly explain to the doctor exactly how you feel at appointments so that he can make suggestions or prescribe something for you if necessary. How wonderful that your sister could be with you to care for you. You should be proud of yourself, too - for coming thru and surviving one of the hardest things in life to experience!! Things do get better! - each at our own pace. Come back and let us know how you are doing.
