Hi Annette:
I've emailed you several times but it keeps coming back saying bad email address... was wondering how you've been doing....
I'm going into final round of Avastin, Gemzar, Carboplatin phase lll trial and considering the Avastin maintenance which is the 2nd part of the study. You are so correct about nutrition and fitness!!
Although side affects for this chemo cocktail is known to give fatigue I've had very little and I think it's because I exercize daily and have been careful to maintain a healthy diet mostly vegan in manner. And I've stayed busy with my part-time bookkeeping client load, family,church friends and lots of fun life stuff.....and God!
It does seem weird that exercizing and expending energy would help with fatigue but I've found that expending the energy seems to bring on more energy and a just plain feel-good all over! I found this to be true throughout 6 rounds of IP/IV cisplatin and taxol 3 yrs ago and found it again with these treatments!! God has been so good and I am very grateful to Him for feeling good and that once again the treatments worked. How long will I be "dancing with ned" I don't know -but am grateful for it now! Annette, I now live by what you emailed me one time: I'm feeling good now, not treating it today so I live (live) today!!!
Looking forward to hearing from you again!! Miss you!!
