Then, hopefully, I will be able to get radiation treatment in the afternoon. The radiation techs thought I might be too whipped to make it, but its important to get every treatment.
Tuesday morning I get radiation at 8am and then rush to the clinic for blood tests and infusion - until about 5pm. I'll get to use my new portacath right away.
Thursday, after radiation, I'll go to the breast clinic and get a bone density scan.
This fighting cancer thing is like a job.
I am currently reading the Atlantic magazine. I enjoyed a little poem called Heaven by William Hayden http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200907/poem-heaven and Jamais Cascio's article that we survive as a people by getting smarter http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200907/intelligence . Sort of echos back to Stephen Hawkins We are more than just our genes
Barb helped me finish two beaded necklaces I was working on Friday evening. I am happy with them both from an aesthetic point of view and construction.
The new chemo does not affect my eyesight like the old cocktail of chemo did (light flashes and blurry vision). I am taking a simple knitting project with me to work on during Tuesday's session. Janie started me on this project many months ago. Perhaps now that I am off morphine I can make more progress.
