Okay, saying this with my mommy voice "make the appt!"

I hope it means your neuropathy is abating, too. Mine is feeling a bit better since starting neurontin and swimming. The swimming in the evenings has helped me sleep, too.

Everyone else?

Update for me:

Weather is getting colder, but hands do not seem to be getting worse in direct proportion. I hope this means that the neuropathy is abating. In my feet, no real change, unfortunately.

I continue with the supplements I started taking after the testing I did in Chicago, have done pretty good sticking to a vegan diet, but have done crappy with exercise follow through. I have big sleep problems (falling asleep, even with pills) and find that if I exercise in the morning I drag all day (after 3 weeks in a row of exercise this never did abate..which surprised me), and then after work I am of course wiped out from little sleep ...around 10pm I feel wide awake and can't sleep, and then the process starts all over again. This has been a problem my whole life and I will never have an evening/night job, so....I dunno.

I still have a significant amount of fatigue for being off of chemo for 6 months now, so I don't know what that is about. Granted, I have no information that tells me I shouldn't still be tired, but it doesn't make sense to me that I would still be tired.

I need to call my oncologist's office because I either missed an appointment or didn't call to schedule like I was supposed to, as I know it has been 3 months since I have seen her. Also, I do believe that I am due for a CAT scan.
