Gosh, I haven't had a Nutter Butter in years, but yep, they're SO good! You know, I honestly think that this time next year, all this will be a distant memory and you'll be in perfect health.

I am so thankful that you are feeling strong and staying engaged in your life and the things that bring you joy, comfort and happiness.<br />Yes, chemo brain is an overwhelming and uncontrollable side effect as well as the fatigue you are describing. When I went through chemo many years ago, they didn't warn you about these side effects and they should have. Having a realistic mindset alleviates some of the frustration.<br />Blessings and prayers to you,<br />Hugs,<br />JemmaJemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-83309172118707841592015-08-27T10:48:56.075-07:002015-08-27T10:48:56.075-07:00Sorry to hear that you are going through such a di...Sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult situation-I will pray for you! <br /><br />~TrishaTrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501382004041008279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-91955378723973124712015-08-26T22:21:19.098-07:002015-08-26T22:21:19.098-07:00You are a hero!
