Week 2 of chemo…done. Ten more chemo weeks, six more rest weeks—one of which is next week.
Because I feel so good, and you can’t tell from looking at me that I have cancer, for the most part, I feel pretty much like my normal self right now. Sure I think about having cancer a lot—but I don’t have many moments where I feel like a Cancer Patient.
On chemo days though that tends to change. The IV in my arm, the pole that goes everywhere with me—its hard to maintain a sense of normalcy during those few hours in the lounger. The moments where reality hits hardest are when I have to drag my pole with me into the bathroom, catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and almost don’t recognize myself.
The good news though is that I’m feeling great and looking forward to 10 chemo-less days—that’s a good long stretch to feel normal. Happy weekend everyone!
We love you Margie. I still recognize you and you are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice of you to help that pole into the bathroom. That pole looks rather emaciated as well. So make sure that pole gets more to eat! I hope if I'm ever reincarnated into an IV pole that I have someone as sweet as you to help me get around. ;-). Love you. Reggie
