Initially, I didn’t believe I had cancer. Once I accepted that as fact, it seemed that
my entire life started to revolve around the actual mechanics of cancer
treatment. Each round of chemo starts in
the infusion bay, 6 hours in the chair, receiving hydration and drugs
intravenously. Back the next day for 3
hours, more hydration and then the Neulasta injection to goose my white blood
cell count. Then home, nausea starts in
the late afternoon, the bone pain starts that evening, and the next 3 or 4 days
are spent trying to mitigate the various side-effects from chemo and the other
anti-nausea and pain relief medications.
But there was a day when I asked the silence…
Why me?
And got a response. Why not you?
It will show you that
you are much stronger than you know.
It will make you
stronger still.
It will help others
become stronger too.
And that was really all I needed to know.
