Tomorrow begins week #2 for my radiation and chemotherapy. I could gripe and moan about how crappy it all is, and believe me, I've done my fair share of complaining. But tonight I'm trying to look at all of the positives. Hold on a sec ... I'm working on it ... ummmmmm ... let's see ... well ... sheesh, that's just too Pollyanna. It stinks.
However, I will say that there is a comfort in knowing that my treatments have finally started. I feel like now I have been given the medical tools to partner with my faith to start fighting this cancer. I am achy, pukey and moody ... not too different than my normal self! I couldn't help but laugh yesterday afternoon. I'm already losing hair ... not on my head, not on my legs ... but two of my eyelashes fell out into my nice cool glass of iced lemonade. You'd think it would be sad, but I just laughed. Crying does no good ... but laughing feels so much better.
My kids are anxious about my impending hair loss. Isaac approaches me at least 3 times a day with a silly recomendation for the color of hair I should have in my wig. Right now he thinks lime and purple striped hair would be "really cool. None of my friends have moms with that kind of hair!" Nathan says I should have hair "like Dora." Nita thinks I should go with a "Whoopi" hairdo. I think I'll do something different. I've never had naturally curly hair and it's been years since I've been gray-free.
So, now for week #2. Let's get going ... one down, 5 to go! Thank you, Lord, for giving this week to me.
Until Tomorrow,
Kathy
