So I"ve been in the cancer system for 2 years now. It's been the holidays, the first week went well, the second one sucked. NO chemo last week, but non the less, I get sick as a dog with fevers, massive GI issues and a sinus infection. HAPPY F-ING NEW YEAR. I shouldn't complain, hey, I'm alive.
Sometimes are easier and harder than others and I've got to admit after 3 rather difficult rounds of different treatments, I'm finally on a medication that isn't trying to kill me along with the cancer.
I was sad today. A co-worker, an inner city woman from Trenton, Trevor, died on New Years eve. She was one of the nicest woman I have know, although she lacked what we know as an education, when ever I saw her on her breaks, she was reading classics. My mom, when she was alive would occassionally call me on the phone. If Trevor was the clerical person who answered, my mom would always compliment her on her professionalism. She even sent Trevor flowers and plants on occassion. My mom was an excellent secretary for her whole life and appreciated a skilled and talented person in the office. When you're a state worker, it's not always easy to get really professional help.
Anyway, I cried, I'll miss her...... she tried so hard.... chemo... radiation.... feeding tubes the whole gammet. I heard she had a heart attack......so in the world of cancer, what else is new?
Day by day, just take it day by day.
