It's finally Friday! Woo Hoo!!! Ok enough of the end of week revelry.... It's chemo day, bring on the Benadryl! Better living through pharmacology I always say. I was having a discussion with my daughter yesterday and the subject of medical marijuana came up. I said that If I thought it would help I would probably use it to some extent. She was teasing me because I was saying that "If you have cancer you should be able to enjoy yourself at some point". Of course I have no idea how it would affect me because I think It's been like 25 years since I "didn't inhale". Everyone rolls their eyes when I say things like "Can't wait for the Versed hangover" or "Bring on the Benadryl". Look, I am just trying to make the best of a bad situation.... Really. I am.
I simply cannot wait until Thanksgiving next week. Having my whole family together for the first time in many years will be awesome! I have to come home on Saturday for Chemo but it's a good trade off. The Chemo nurses at the hospital are not usually staffed on Saturdays but they are doing me a favor next week. My medical team is filled with rockstars. They are awesome!
One nice side effect of my illness this last year is that I have grown much closer to my sisters' Sheri and Susan than I ever thought I would. They have both been pillars of strength this year and I am so grateful that we have become so much closer. I love them dearly even though they are flaming liberals.
Only three radiation treatments left. It'll be nice to see that be over... Here is a picture of the machine that does the radiation treatments. It doesn't look like much but I guess it's the cats pajamas as far as the treatments go.
