The Good: Chemo Treatment #4 - DONE (INSERT CHECK MARK) - that means I'm halfway through, and I've responded well so here's to CHECK, CHECK, CHECK, CHECK and done!!
The Bad: When I look around the Chemo Unit at the different faces it hurts in a way I can't describe. I don't know what they are going through, every treatment and person is different, but I do know it's hard, and some faces have seen very hard times, so much so I wish I could double my dose if that could give them a break. I wonder if over time my face will become one of those that are hard to describe....
The What the ??: You know when someone buys a car and you think you haven't seen many, then all of a sudden you’re seeing them everywhere... I bought the Cancer Car... I knew they existed but now that I have one they are everywhere, I can't go a day without seeing one on the news, hearing about one from a friend, or wondering whether mine will make it through the winter... I wouldn't recommend purchasing one: The warranty sucks, it get's shitty mileage and the paint job is chipped... I was told though that over time it will improve, I could get an extended warranty, the mileage get's better, and then I can get a nice new paint job.... but can you really trust a car salesman :)
Lessons Learned: I bought a T-Shirt that says "I don't give a Fu*K" (there's no star on the t-shirt, I added that for my underage audience and those who find the "F" word offensive)... It doesn't mean I don't care anymore, it means I've realized how many things don't matter, how many things we stress about that aren't worth it, the list is endless of what I now don't give a Fu*ck about, the list is short of what means the world to me...
Welcome to my Journey nicknamed "My Moonstone Journey" for no reason other than that's what came to mind, and it started on October 26, 2010 when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
I thought this would be a good way to unload my week's events as a means to maintain my sanity, as well, an avenue for family and friends to see what's going on.
I had no idea what would happen after October 26th, I have no idea what will happen today, I have no idea about tomorrow, and I'm starting to accept that, and it scares me a little less each day approaching the unknown...
If you're reading this, chances are you're one of those people who are holding my hand through this and for that I Thank You...
