On these in-between limbo sorts of days, I struggle with what to write. Everything is a blur right now, thanks to the mental/cognitive fog from the chemo drugs combined with serious sleep deprivation. But that morsel of insight, right there, is the sort of thing I wanted to know when I was headed down this tunnel. This haze I am experiencing is awful but normal. So is the neuropathy. Today I hope it will – I will – start to improve.
What else would I want to know if I were newly diagnosed? That this part of the treatment process is temporary? Yes, that’s a given. I would say the very first lesson cancer teaches you is that everything is temporary, for better and for worse.
The only other thing I can think to write at this moment is this: hang on. There’s certainly no alternative. Once you’ve gotten an infusion you are in it till its over, and your recovery is going to be what it’s going to be. My recovery is going to be what it’s going to be.
