Cancer Support

For my hip: Epsom salts baths every other day. Chiro twice a week. A daily anti-inflammatory supplement (which I got from the chiro). My stretching exercises. I can't lift anything too heavy, but I have much less pain these days.

For my anxiety and depression: I'm taking Zoloft, half the originally prescribed dose, a Xanax or Lorazepam if needed. Half an hour of sunlight first thing in the morning. I find that keeping busy is the most important thing I can do to keep my mood positive, and as my hip improves, I'll be able to get out and about more.

My hair and nails are still terrible, and chocolate and a few other things still don't taste quite right. I finished my year of Herceptin in April, and I guess I'm just bouncing back more slowly than most.
