Michael,

There were many times along the way during my treatment when I felt that I couldn't get through the next X# of weeks -- however many there happened to be at that time. I found that I had to concentrate on what it took to get through the next 24 hours, each day at a time. I also found that I had to do as Gail said -- keep talking to my doctors and nurses about whatever was the biggest problem at that stage and see what they could do to help.

We're all here for you and know you can do it.
