Well, Campers, today was my first 7-hour marathon chemo session, And I am beat!!
Yesterday was blood draw, a chest x-ray, and a talk with Dr. Russell, my medical oncologist. All is 'normal', given that I have a huge cancerous mass in my left lung. But just having the treatment start gives me renewed confidence that I'm going to beat this thing
It's still hard to accept. I mean, one day, I'm feeling pretty good, all things considered, and then it's slam. bam, Yankee Doodle Dandy and I find out I now have a shelf life.
But we've all kept and used things well beyond that printed shelf life. . .
Peace and love,
Joe
I am reminded of the scene from REDS 2 where John Malkovich eats a Ding Dong that has been in a CIA safe house since the cold war. His justification is that "this was before there were Use By dates".
ReplyDeleteJoe, I think you are that Ding Dong. You never had a Use By date to start with.
Here's hoping!! Thanks!!!
