I try not to fall asleep during the day. It makes it harder to sleep at night. I'm usually up by 8 A.M.

Some chemo drugs can cause the kind of pain your daughter is having. She should check with the chemo nurse. They're very knowledgable. It can also make it take longer to heal a bruise or cut. When red blood cell production kicks up again people usually feel more energetic. It was that way with me.

I enjoy going to watch the fireworks. It makes it more or an occasion.
