How are you doing? That seems to be the main question I’m asked. Well, let me try to explain to you just how I am doing right now! I’m tried of the side effects of chemo. I’m tried of the metal taste (yes, I talk about that so much but it’s nasty). I’m tired of being tried and this week was the worse. I’m tired of having “no side” to sleep on – my right arm is still “under construction” healing from the surgeries. My left side has the port-a-cath sticking out. I’m tired of finding hair to match the outfit. However, I keep going.
For all of you ladies – here’s my new way to have you relate to me. Ok, you are pregnant and in your 6th month. You are tired of “peeing” every ½ hour. You are tired of your stomach stretching so far it hurts. You are tired of your “boobs” feeling like water balloons. You are tired of someone kicking you from the inside. You are tired of having to hold your tummy to turn over at night. You are ready to have this baby OUT! Well, I’m almost ½ way done and I’m ready to have this chemo OVER!
When you are pregnant, you know that although you’d love the baby out – it’s not best for the baby. You have to GO THE DISTANCE to ensure your baby’s health and happiness. I must go the distance with this chemo so that I can (if it’s in God’s plans) see my babies’ babies!
I don’t like any of it. I’m becoming a bit of a “complainer”. It’s harder to look at the road of 5 more treatments but you have to GO THE DISTANCE! God has everything already planned out for us – we just have to stay focused and keeping walking day by day! So, since I can’t “be done” with chemo… I think I’ll at least need a chocolate cake “½ way done” party after my next treatment!!!!
