Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | The first 2 to 3 weeks POST TREATMENT are usually the worst for everyone so in a gruel sense you are normal. Most of us finally walk out of the tunnel in our 3rd week post Tx and keep in mind your recovery from this Tx can take every bit of 2 years so even when you think you are out of that dark tunnel you still may have bad days mixed with good ones until the bad days slowly disappear.
Be patient.
