Chemo Symptoms Finally Easing

The eye doctor gave me some ointment which has kept my eye feeling good but I can't wear my contacts at all. It's been several days since I needed a nap so I'm over the fatigue. I'm dry from head to toe though, more so now than during the actual treatments. No hair growing in yet but it's only 3 weeks since the last treatment.

The oncologist says I should not expect to feel normal for another month or so. Luckily he says I can wait to start taking Tamoxifen until then.

No period this month, we may have to wait 6 months to see if my ovaries survived the treatments. I'm really hoping they are okay, I need the Estrogen to prevent osteoporosis and heart disease.
