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... ;)

  2. Well, it's been 3 days since your last Chemo--a day after you wrote your blog. Just wondering how you are feeling.

    Who's swim try out? And also...why do they have to make the "prove you're not a robot" word so damn hard to read?

  5. Joseph, you never fail to make me smile! And, everyone knows robots have notoriously poor eyesight. Is there something you're trying to tell us?!:)
