Glad to hear you're doing OK!!  You'll be surprised how time flies.  My sister reminded me that it was 7 months ago that I told her my cancer was back.  Since that time...lots of chemo, lost EVERY hair on my body...surgeries...but NOW...my hair is coming back in, radiation is almost over, chemo is only every 3 weeks and I'm feeling stronger every day.  You'll be surprised how fast the time will go.  Keep the chin up and remember that this is just a bump in the road of life - as my mom used to say.

It's a good feeling knowing you are half way through the AC.  It's sometimes better to be in the middle of it than worrying about what it's going to be like.  I'm pleased to hear that you are doing so well.  Losing our hair is no fun, but at least we know it will be growing back.  We appreciate you checking in with us.  We are holding your hand through this, cyber-hand that is.  Keep in touch.  G.

You are tolerating it well 'cause you had very good health condition before the treatment, I guess. 

This is good.
