I am writing this post from the treatment room at the oncologist, my first instance of "live blogging" I suppose. It is a little cumbersome to type with an IV in your arm, but I've got to keep myself occupied here somehow for the next couple of hours. As usual, I am surrounded by old people staring at me like I don't belong.
In a lot of ways, getting chemotherapy is like going through a long boxing match. The first few rounds go by pretty quickly and you recover pretty much back to normal in between, but as the process goes on your body simply can't take the abuse and you never get back to normal. The bar drops a bit lower every time and I can feel myself getting weaker with each round. Good thing I am already on round 5 of 8 and won't have to put up with this for too much longer. I really can't wait for things to be normal again.

You should bring a little boombox and play "Eye of the Tiger" on repeat during your sessions. Go Jay go!
ReplyDeleteRisin' up, back on the street
ReplyDeleteDid my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
chorus
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
chorus
The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...
I love you and am SO proud of the way you're dealing with this.
