[cancer] Chemo 7 of 12
This one was relatively placid physically. I didn’t sleep egregiously. Actually was able to indulge in some WRPA when I came off the needle, and I read some, including finishing The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, which gave me a lot to think about. Emotionally, I feel pretty fragile, but that’s mostly the chemo talking. It’s a tough road at its best, and this was my nineteenth chemo in the past nineteen months.

I don’t miss it, but whenever I feel sorry for myself about something, I think back on my chemo days. One year of that stuff, punctuated by the “complications.” Puts everything else into perspective!
Abide, and get well! And never surrender!
