I felt good after radiation ended, but then fatigued out two months later. Weird!<br /><br />Glad you can see the hair coming back! You still look gorgeous without the hair, tho.<br /><br />~ReneeReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827641133321770183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821477759185379244.post-21058899808649169152009-04-27T12:00:00.000-07:002009-04-27T12:00:00.000-07:00I finished my radiation treatments on April 15th, ...I finished my radiation treatments on April 15th, and I must say, I am more tired than I have ever been in my entire life!!!!! Can't seem to get my life back here. I burned to a crisp, but it is getting better! I'm so glad this is all over! Love your hair!!!! my whitish gray ones came in first, then black ones. Can't believe I used to be blond. Now I'm black and white!<br /><br />Hope the treatments are going ok so far!<br /><br />CoraCora from Hidden Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066244776488896258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821477759185379244.post-28099898053246949072009-04-26T07:38:00.000-07:002009-04-26T07:38:00.000-07:00Thanks Holly.

Wish I could hide myself in your suitcase, enjoy yourself in Paris whenever you get there.<br /><br />Thanks Sharon.

I slept sitting up quite frequently :) In fact, every day and every evening during primetime.<br /><br />The fatigue seems to go away quickly once your counts come back up. I'm exactly 2 weeks out and I've had more energy this week than last. I still relish those naps though.<br /><br />Baby yourself - it's just temporary and the rest helps heal your body from chemo as well.<br /><br />-SharonS. F.
