I can tell you what I have to deal with. Hot flashes and sweating throughout the day. Finding very little relief from that. Muscle aches, charlie horses, constant headaches, memory loss, bruising quite easily and a diminished quality of life. But I am alive and look forward to each day regardless of what I am going through. I had no one give me a choice or tell me about the side effects of going through chemo/radiation. Pray all is well and that you heal.

I agree, basically I did the same thing.. but no meds prescribed.. Still fighting Covid also.... I am hoping to take a cruise also sometime this year, but fighting major dental work, Cancer, and long Term Covid consequences may put a hole on that... One day at a time.. God is Great.
