Is it just me or are more and more people being diagnosed with cancer these days. Young people. Maybe it is the same phenomenon as when you break up with someone and then hear their name everywhere you go. It makes me so mad and sad when I hear about cancer...especially when the whore ends up killing someone. I found out today that a colleague from graduate school recently lost her battle to brain cancer. I was really sad to hear this news and it is also scary because it reminds me that the whore is strong. I also found out today that a therapist in my agency was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is in need of some serious support right now. I gave her my email address and hope that she reaches out. It is crazy to think that I can offer her some advice and support and that I have already learned so much since being diagnosed. A sign that I am well into this battle and hopefully approaching survivor status.
Hearing about newly diagnosed people or those who have lost their battle makes me want to fight harder and to make sure that I destroy the whore. Speaking of my whore...she is definitely shrinking! Chemo #5 went fairly well but my body is starting to get tired of chemo and I think I am taking longer to recuperate. I am trying to not get overwhelmed at work and pace myself which is working well this week.
