Mind Games
Since my liver has decided to take a slight vacation from doing its job correctly, I now get an unscheduled break from my Taxol chemotherapy treatments and Lapatinib. Now, maybe this crazy rash will go away for at least a little while. That’s the good news.
The only thing I’m worried about now is that my mind will lose its prior good humor: “Okay, I can do this: two more treatments, free week on Thanksgiving, three more treatments, free week on Christmas… second leg of chemotherapy complete, hopefully marbles still intact.” All this is now up in the air because of the “toxic liver” and yesterday’s cancelled infusion.
The mastectomy which had previously been set for May 12, postponed until January 5, rescheduled to January 12, will now probably be moved to January 19. Enough of the mind games already. I had enough mental issues to begin with.
Doesn’t sound like a very fun game to me! Better to play a round or two of canasta. I liked the “hopefully marbles intact” line, and I’ll just add “at least as much as they ever were!”
Abel!
Here it is, 2016 already and I’m just now reading your comment. What can I say? Going through chemo, trying not to die… it’s not like I could respond to every comment, I guess.
I still love Canasta. I’m not dead. We are in a band together now, praising the Lord. Life doesn’t get much better than that, eh?
