Chemo #6

I had a typical week following treatment. A couple of good days followed by a week of sickness. Fatigue, stomach aches, cramping & twisting, nausea, diarrhea, constipation. A couple of days of not being able to eat. Then I make myself eat cause I start to feel faint. Then I start to come out of it after about 5 to 6 days. Then every day after that I begin to feel like myself and get my appetite back. I'm good for a week, week and a half then I go back for treatment and do it all over again.

Daddy knows best

Sat down to have dinner with my parents. I was saying that I try to keep myself busy with little things as a distraction or escape. Just to fill my days since I  still can't work at the moment. Then I thought of the cancer and my eyes welled up with tears and I began to quietly cry. I so desperately miss my life. The life I had before finding out I have cancer. Mom looked up at me and said "No meja, don't cry." I said, "I know mom...I just get sad because my life has changed and it will never be the same." She said, "you don't know that, it can be." Then I looked at daddy and he said,  "Maybe it will be better" I took a deep. I never thought of that option. Maybe it WILL be better. Breast cancer treatment fund. You are invited to donate to an awesome cause. You'll be a part of the big picture by improving my quality of life. Thank you ever so kindly.
