  • Hi Lyndita,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you are coping OK, although I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with side effects.

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so that a few more people should see it. Hopefully you'll then get some more replies. You can also search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.

    I hope that the forum can be helpful for you - it is a safe space to reach out to others, and we are always here if ever you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
