In
order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive
vision. - Dalai
Lama
Just
TWO MORE DAYS of radiation and one more of chemotherapy. If you've
ever been through this regimen of treatment, you know just how
significant those three words are.
This
will, again, be a short post. It was actually a very positive, no,
make that a very, extremely positive day today. In addition to having
my radiation treatment, they also did my lab work today, a day
earlier than normal. They did the lab work because I had two doctors'
appointments today. One was with my radiation doctor. The second one
was with my medical oncologist (chemotherapy). They wanted the lab
work for the second appointment.
I'll
be honest, I'm totally wiped out and have been since I arrived back
at Judy's about 12:15 PM today. So, I'll save all the details of the
two appointments for another day when I have some energy to think and
write. However, I will say this much. Both doctors effectively gave
me A++++ reports. I walked out today feeling very positive.
After
leaving the cancer center, I went over to my primary doctor's office
to make a follow-up appointment (finally). The woman at the reception
desk asked what the reason for the appointment was and I answered by
telling her that I wanted to thank them for saving my life. She, of
course, looked dumbfounded. I told her that since I had last been
there, based on their instructions, my life was in the balance and I
was completing two months of chemotherapy and five and a half weeks
of radiation. And, things are looking very positive.
We
worked out the time and details and then I headed back to Judy's. I
walked in, whereupon Judy wanted to know the results of my
appointments. I told her and we were both elated. Then I came
upstairs to my room and . . . collapsed. The end of my productive
day.
Live
free and be happy. EH
