I didn't have chemo, just surgery then radiation. So, I didn't have the symptoms you are experiencing, nor the need for the pain meds you are taking.
This post serves no other purpose than to let you know others made it through treatment just fine and you will too. Maybe one year from now you will be able to cheer up another new member.
take care,
