It has been
7 days since my after chemo shot and for some reason I am having a sick day.
Usually by this date I am in my building week and I am able to do some things.
Possibly since I had two doctor appointments this week I used up what good
energy I had on those days so now I need to rest and build back up. I need to
remind myself that with chemo nothing is certain other than you will be tired
and feel sick.
As I sat in
the little examining room yesterday waiting for my turn to see the doctor I was
able to hear what was going on in the adjoining room. Dr. Samiian walked in and
was explaining to the patient that she did indeed have breast cancer. She
explained the different treatment plans and the process. The patient was more
concerned with losing her hair than the fact she could lose her life without
treatment. I wanted to yell out what is more important your hair or your life?
I am not my
hair and I am not my breast. I am a thriving woman that just happens to have
breast cancer. I fight with every ounce of my being and I do not let these
things define who I am. I am caring, industrious, grateful, driven and happy. That
is what describes me.
I think this
lady needed to Get A Clue from Cindy Lou!
