Hi minniea,
I guess we both are doing a lot of chatting today.
When did you finish your treatment?

I finished radiation on 12/29. And in general am feeling great - so much energy compared to before, but I find the energy level really varies. I'll do great for a few days then wham! I'm suddenly exhausted. It is strange how the energy level is not predictable or consistant.

I too think I am overdoing it on a lot of days, and I am not eating as much as I should be. I've lost a lot of weight, and recently I've noticed I have no muscles anymore. I'd love to start exercising or doing something to regain the lost muscle, but don't want to push it since i'm not eating a lot.

Oh well, I guess I need to give myself more time, and slow down a bit. But I am thankful at least that I do have energy to do somethings!
