I'm still getting my chemo every two weeks. My fatigue is ridiculous....I can't even get to the store and back (1 block) without freakin\ collapsing in fatigue. The chemo is beating the crap out of me.

My last ct showed stable lymph node tumours and the node in my chest doesn't seem to be growing. My CEA numbers were down by half. Basically, my doctor says to keep blasting away with chemo and see how things are in two months. Sometimes I feel like I can't take anymore. I can't work, I can't do anything. What's the point of living long if all I get to do is lie on the couch for the rest of it.

I know it's a shitty thing to complain about since you WANT to get chemo and can't, but it's really sucked. I can't live the rest of my life like this......
