Today we meet w the oncologist to find out the chemo plan. I am scared and not scared. Nervous and calm. Curious and afraid of side effects. For the most part I feel quiet today. And teary. I keep breaking into tears the last three days. PMS? Wouldn't that just be a freakin' bonus on top of the cramping of stitches and the crazy sore ribs that were banged around during surgery. [eye roll]
Ah well, let us laugh and smile and let ourselves get lost in the joy of Christmas. We woke up to snow and I love it!!!!
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.

I have been thinking about you today knowing about your appointment. xo
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts as well. This whole adventure might not be a "walk in the park", but maybe for YOU, I wish it to be a "walk in the snow" (because you like that so much ;p ). There will be snow hazards and runny noses on that wet & chilly trail, but may the beauty and majesty of the view along the route fill you up and keep you going.
ReplyDeleteBless you! Saying a prayer for you right now!
