Time Flies

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...
