Welcome to the forum and glad you are beating this. You sound a lot like me. I was damned if I was going to let this thing beat me, but then my doctors gave me no reason to believe that I wouldn't get through it. I lost only 4 or 5 lbs which I needed to lose anyway, went back to work 3 weeks after radiation (no chemo). The one thing I did wrong was not get any exercise and I think that is what contributed to my being so cold. I think a positive attitude really helps get through these treatment issues and yours is great.
Take care,
Eileen
