We went to the movies today because Olivier wanted to see Avatar with a friend. The movie is quite long at 3.5 hours so it was a bit of a challenge to make sure that I eat during the movie. This is the first time that Mel and myself actually got through a large popcorn…
I have now finished 19 days of treatment and I am at the end of week 4. Having that 1 day break on the Thursday has done wonders for fatigue as it seems to be much better and more manageable today. I think that the point of the weekends off is to help out with…
