So, my friends - 2020 gave me one more kick in the ass as it was heading out the door. Turns out I have a new "lesion" on my spine. So I started back on chemo Thursday - all 7+ hours of it. Also starting radiation in a week or two so that is apparently something to look forward to as well! The good news is I'm not the least bit fazed by any of this. I'm strong, I know what I'm in for, I'm not nearly as sick or in as much pain as I was in May, and I know what meds finally worked. I also felt like I cheated by not having as much chemo as I was originally scheduled to have. So all in all, this is a little wrinkle in the greater scheme of things. But there goes my darn hair again! Much love and gratitude to all of you for your well wishes, prayers and emotional (and occasionally physical) support. And for those of you who know my family, please keep them in your hearts as well. As Beloved Officer Dave told me, “You don’t have cancer; we have cancer. We’re all in this together.” He is so right!
