I am new to the site but have been undergoing chemotherapy for five months now. For the most part, up until now, I have done well in staying focused on powering through the treatments and continue a pretty regular schedule. I am getting increasingly physically fatigued, which I had expected, but the mentally exhaustion seems to baffle me. I have weird mood swings and kjust want to cry a lot, and I am far from a cryer. I have always been one of those "rather die then cry" people because I never want others to see any weakness in me. Now I have no control over it and I guess I am just looking for some advice on how to stay positive and get over yet another hurdle. Perhaps this emotional mess was created because I have been going through these wicked chemo sessions for months, feeling worse and worse, and then I get the news in my check up that we need to increase the dosage because of a new spot on my breast. So frustrating, almost makes me feel like all of this has been for nothing.
