I hear you! And I didn't have Adriamycin, which was an extra misery for you. Everybody's experience is different, and probably each time too for those unlucky enough to have to do this more than once. I'm dreading the tamoxifen part of this (supposed to start March 20). I don't even know if I'll do it.

I'm basically a vegetarian, mostly vegan - the odd organic egg white in a salad, and some fish now and then. I've lost my taste for meat. It's interesting how tastes change, takes about three weeks to stop craving things.

You don't have to buy special foods and bars, Tril. Maybe keep tabs here anyway? I'm starting very slowly at the gym; between chemo fatigue and the fact that I get a migraine if I push my heart rate up too far, I'll be a pathetic figure there among the 18 year olds (at the university fitness center).
