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.

Hey Court, I'm so glad for you that you can see that bright exit light! Must be a beeeyooodiful sight.
You said, "...I go to the cancer clinic for my video, meeting with the Radiologist, possibly get tattooed and have a cast made..."
Forgive my dummy-ness, but if you have time, can you write a bit here to explain "video", "tattoo", and "cast"? I don't know what each of those is about in this context.
