I slept pretty well last night and, as a result, I feel pretty well this morning. Sleep can have very curative powers and I feel it’s working for me.
Most of my chemo effects seem to be gone. I still have some numbness in my toes, but it’s not as bad as it was. The thumb, index and forefinger of might right hand as still pretty number, but me left hand is unaffected. I’m trying different fingers for dial telephones.
I feel well enough to call the oncologist and tell him I’m ready for another treatment. I have been expecting great tribulations with the chemo. Although I have been knocked down, I’m starting to bounce back. My thinking is, if I can take it; why not hit this cancer again.
I consider this war. In war, you suffer as much as you can in the hope that you can make your enemy suffer more. If one wants to close with and kill the enemy, one cannot hesitate just to become a bit more comfortable. In my case, I don’t believe my enemy should be allowed any rest or time to recover. If I can take it, I want to hit the cancer as hard as I can.
I am going to a client site two hours away, so I’ll see how I do. I think I’ll do pretty well, until sometime in the afternoon. I’ll let you know upon my return.
