Mulling of Things

The final chemo didn't, of course, mean walking away from the infusions with nary a side effect. This week, like each one since May 18, will present some challenges -- ones that aren't fun. Yet, of course, again, the very good, very positive upside is that after spending two weeks of getting to feeling better, I won't have to feel like crap again!

Several people have asked what I'm doing to celebrate the end of chemo. I keep mulling over that prospect, keep trying to reconcile a celebration with the forced change that cancer has brought into my life. Perhaps my mind is muddled because I'm only a few days out from that last treatment, perhaps it's the dreaded self pity. In any case, today, being alive and around people (and my pup) that I love, is celebration enough.

Oh, and Saturday's purchase of an iPad and associated accessories should not be construed as celebrating... ;)
