Nelie,
I also struggled with the length of treatment. The smallest thing helped me in a enormous way and that was a small calender I put on the fridge and would make an X on each day when I came home from treatment. I still have that calender. When I would start to feel down I would take it off the fridge and count the days left, count how many I had done, etc. Making that X became the focus of my day and for whatever reasons, that helped me.
