keep up the good spirit! i found that pains in my legs only lasted about 3 days & had 2 good weeks for every bad week! i also started the stool softeners the day before chemo so there wouldn't be too much backup! that was the only thing that helped + laxative drops, but the antinausea pills (cause of constipation) were well worth it; when i felt a bit nauseous i drank coke, managed not to throw up once! hang in there, there are only 6 treatments! harriet
