Chemo calendar update
Jul. 13th, 2011 09:23 pmThe daily grind of radiation treatment process is wearing on me, so I am taking a few moments to remember what a blessing it is to get a weekly treat from my "chemo calendar" box! They have such power to make to me smile or laugh and escape for awhile.
Only 2.5 weeks until I am done with treatment! I will probably have side effects after that, but at least the doctors won't be making me worse every day. I know I've made it this far mainly due to the energy and support flowing my way from so many wonderful people. Thank you doesn't begin to convey my appreciation for all this, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Here's a list of the amazing treats I've gotten recently:
Hairless LOLCat
Duckie keyring and panda card
Barnes & Noble gift card
Quilt post card and balloon helicopter
A Shelley Macaskill original painting of a kitty cat
Lucky paper crane
Snappy sushi gift card
3 mix music CDs
CD of music to inspire positive thinking
XKCD cartoon about the power of science in the healing process
Sparkling kitty notecards
Homemade cookies and soup/casserole coupon
A Rachel Mello original framed artwork
1 hr Major Massage coupon
"Colonel's Brandon's Diary" book
What an artistic, talented and whimsical crowd there is around me! I am astonished at how many of them are so perfect for me.
I have also received support in the form of hugs and emails and facebook or Google+ comments and cat videos! All these let me know I am part of an amazing community! Huge thanks to you for each moment you have sent good vibes in my direction!!!
