I started therapy to erase some issues I had with my mom. My therapist is very "concerned" and feels I will go into my mastectomy with "stress" because of this friend. I think she is in denial and shocked that I am stronger and braver than her that I "accept" I will save my life. My husband doesn't want me to call her because it would be like chasing her. He feels I shouldn't answer any emails form her and if I see the caller ID let it ring. Pami Pami, don't let this "friend" cause you any stress -- you don't need it right now. I know what it's like to have someone you think is a good friend let you down so badly, but I think your analysis that she's the one with the problem is right on the money. You can't worry about her or about your relationship (or lack of) with her -- it was her choice to react the way she did and then not to come back and make it right. You have your supportive DH, other friends and family -- and *us*! We're all pulling for you. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |

Pami, Part of the fatigue is just from your brain trying to wrap itself
around the whole situation. The Chemo itself will not make you tired,it is the Ativan (antihistamine) that does it. I was fortunate to have a wonderful facility with very caring folks to administer the "poison". Remember the Chemo is your ally and will hunt down and destroy any stray cels that escape surgery. For the next few months be very good to yourself, it is all about you!!!! I went to therapy too. It was hard to share my feelings with my family, because I felt they were so worried and scared for me to add to it. Bearing your soul to someone that has no emotional investment is so much easier. Voicing my fears made it easier to face and lessened my stress level considerably. Please feel free to write off list frame242atyahoodotcom |

Linda: Thanks for your relevant report, and
offer of assistance to Pami. I know we are all concerned, but I imagine your personal experience makes your contribution more valuable to Pami right now. It makes *me* feel better knowing she has offers such as yours. (Messages such as yours are what make me come back to RCTQ. Well, the chance to beg for chocolate, too!!)
