I posted a calendar on my refrigerator around the second week of treatment and started living life one day at a time. Nothing mattered more then each day after treatment marking through another day of that calendar. I would count the days left on that calendar 10-15 times a day. I still have it. Routine kept me going and finally it was over.
Good luck!
