Time does fly quickly. It seems to me that just yesterday I was terrified of starting chemotherapy and already the worst is over (hopefully). I have adjusted to not having any hair, gaining a lot of weight, and feeling like yuck. In the grand scheme of life you must realize that these are small things. I love life...bald or hairy...thin or chunky..feeling like yuck or great. I love life. That's all there is to it.
I am thrilled to be working on preparing for the coming school year. Yes, I said "THRILLED". You see once you can't work even for a short time and with what I have gone through this summer being able to work is a GIFT.
My last mammogram was scary. I had convinced myself they had found a new cancerous spot. I was wrong. The radiologist said everything was fine. I have my new tattoo marks for the rays of radiation to target. The technological medical assistant has been doing this job for thirty years. When I commented that I bet technology had really changed during this time his response was "YES, but do you know what has changed more? When I first started this job more people died than survived. Now more survive then die." Well ladies and gentlemen that is a pretty important change that I can certainly appreciate.
Tomorrow the MUGA scan to check my heart. Keep me in your thoughts that my heart is as good as ever...

YOU are a gift! Enjoy your last bits of summer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the Muga scan Leah. I already know what they will find when they take that technology you wrote about and take a look at your heart. It will see a strong, pumping organ that is operating at above the capacity it is designed to for your age. It will see the energy sparks that shoot forth from it because you have reached down inside yourself and ignited a fighting spirit. It will be pumping healthy oxygen filled blood because you quit smoking. And it is healthy and large because it is stuffed full of love. I'll see you soon,
