I’m glad to say that other than feeling light headed while standing (I have an appt. to see a cancer cardiologist), I’m still feeling better in the aftermath of my most recent chemo infusion, last Wednesday.
The fact that this new protocol is much less intense than my first two protocols, suggests why this chemo is effective in reducing the size and activity of tumors within only 25% of patients fated to march ever more courageously into a highly personal, life or death struggle with cancer.
Currently, with positive attitude being my sturdy shield, fending off fear, day after day, I’m hoping that this new chemo protocol, which is treating me ever so kindly, is two faced, so that it will terrorize the sarcoma (which has already overwhelmed one lung into submission) to shrink away from further encroachment upon my heart until my Houston oncologist deems my body readied to undergo a dual surgery so complex as to require my positively focused energy to muscle up, immeasurably ... and now that you’ve witnessed the intuitive portion of my brain offering my thought processor yet another heartfelt pep talk, I’ll close with a smile, based in our family’s difficult decision as to whether David’s plan to fly in, last night, would be cancelled or not. And having gone back and forth, during several phone conversations, I’m glad to say that a family fun fest lies directly ahead as this weekend unfolds ...
As to the global nature of the mind-swirling crises created by the corona virus, most people are choosing to cancel flights in favor of playing it safe at home, so thank goodness for the fact that though flights are being cancelled, day in and day out, the depths of our heartfelt love for one another continues to fly back and forth around the world for free! As usual, we see how a common enemy brings the consensus of the majority, together. Now, let’s hope the same group mentality holds true for our nation in crises, this coming November. 🌈🦚Annie
