Meet my friends "side effects"

My joints hurt,my muscles hurt, my stomach is upset, I am tired and I am having a variety of other side effects.this has happen off and on today. To the point I did consider jumping off this chemo trip ....I read about people who stop chemo in the middle, today I understand. However with God I can do it. Dave prayed for me and friends prayed..... I experienced relief. I wish I could say my first thought was prayer but no my first thought was give me &$@& something. But then prayer and it works. Thank you God for the peace more than anything.      My sister,today,  told me to make friends with my side effect. I thought ok ......really you are crazy . She explained that these side effect are sign the chemo is working and I should take comfort in knowing its working. Well true..... so meet my friend "side effect". Of course they are not my BFF....I am not willing to go that far.
