I never cease to be amazed at how oncologists and others don't want to accept that there are long term consequences. It's not that I want to complain about long term effects; I just want an acknowledgement that it happens.Eliza Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327422864558529134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719436986266142043.post-67582489916406119872012-07-27T02:47:30.532+01:002012-07-27T02:47:30.532+01:00I'm there with you Elizabeth, in the Land of t...I'm there with you Elizabeth, in the Land of the New Normal. It's a very strange place to be and often unpredictable. If I travel a lot I have learned that I need to spend at least a day just sitting doing nothing except being on the computer, not even doing things like emptying the dishwasher and then I recover more quickly. But what I can't get a handle on is how many of us are there in this New Land. And how many of our oncologists and doctors know that we are here?Natalie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650380538137469417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719436986266142043.post-30151130549758673742012-07-26T20:07:21.133+01:002012-07-26T20:07:21.133+01:00I didn't even have the chemo etc and I feel th...I didn't even have the chemo etc and I feel the fatigued.. but at least we are here to tell our story Elizabeth that's how I see it at the moment..

I've had many more days when I have a few hours of feeling normal & energetic & like I could really put all this behind me. But then this past week, for no apparent reason, I was under the bus again, needing to collapse into bed right after work, just as you describe, Elizabeth. At least we are able to work at all. That's what I remind myself. Hugs.Kathihttp://accidentalamazon.com/noreply@blogger.com
