I start chemo tomorrow.
I don't really have any thoughts about it.
I really am a blank.
I'm not really nervous, or scared, or excited.

out there sending me thoughts and support. seriously.
No Comments yet? I am thinking about you and hope that you won't get knocked down by the chemo. The port sound like it went well, better than I thought it would be. What I would imagine (having no background or experience) is that the hardest part wont be a sudden feeling of pain to overcome but the dragged out day to day of feeling (possibly) awful, mentally and physically, from the "poison" (your word.) I hope things go as well as they can, and at least it's actually happening now, rather than waiting? See you very soon...-Rachel
ReplyDeleteI pretty much know nothing about chemo, but I do know that blank feeling when facing the knownish unknown. It's a big knownish unknown, so it looms there and crowds out the other stuff of daily life you could otherwise be fully present for. Probably good to get going, as Rachel said, instead of waiting. Then you can wrestle with its reality versus your fears.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you, Jeremy! I know of a couple of girls who would like to see you when it is a good time for a visit.
Thinking of all of you! Sending heartfelt strength and good wishes your way! Btw, Caroline has been bragging and showing pictures of Fiona to all her friends, saying "cutest cousin in the whole world!""
