Part Deux!

The last few weeks I have been recovering from my last Chemo treatment (look at me tooting my own horn) at times, having feelings of ambition, frustration, relief, apprehension, shear tiredness and jubilation. Confused - I am. I have to confess that writing about this journey has not been my strong forte. I haven't had a strong forte since I started this journey. When I feel down - I just think of all of my people (that's you), wash any silly notions out of my mind and relax, very content with a large smile on my face. Battling cancer and its treatments takes a lot out of a person so I keep telling myself that soon I will be back to my self - emphasis on soon I hope.

Stage 2: Radiation

To recap - I have to have six weeks, five days a week, of radiation. The major side affect should be tiredness and quite frankly, I have that down pat. So to all who have offered to drive - it sounds like I can drive myself - this treatment isn't a debilitating as Chemo. I will know more on Thursday, tomorrow, when I go to the cancer clinic for my video, meeting with the Radiologist, possibly get tattooed and have a cast made, and hopefully get my radiation schedule.

I can see the blinking exit light at the end of the long cold sterile dark hallway entombed in the cancer dimension.

FINISHED CHEMO!

Celebrate goods times - come on - it's time to ce-le-bration.

No party yet but that will follow. Yes - my last Chemo was yesterday and I am excited! No more direct poisoning my body. so I feel lousy for the next two weeks. My radiation starts in about three weeks, but what I hear it isn't as harsh as Chemo. And for all you folks who want to help drive - when I get my schedule I will contact you. It sounds like, from what the doc said, I could drive myself. My major side effect would be tiredness. What's that? Isn't that a normal state of being during our middle years? Tiredness - I laugh HA HA.

Scary Picture Gone Now

Mohawk girl gone away for now.

Today is a good day! Water the front garden this morning, went for a walk by the river, having a Carolanns in my tea - Life couldn't be finer - well it could. We lost our cousin, Ken Horwood, yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers go to Sylvia and Kaitlyn. We love you!
