Things I hate about my treatment (and things I am thankful for)

On Friday I go in for my fourth PET/CT. With a little luck there will be no hot spots.

I hate that it hurts like hell every time I take a crap

I am thankful that my wife takes good care of me

I hate that my feet and fingers have gone numb

I am thankful that my cancer has not spread past a distant lymph node

I hate my port, and what it stands for

I am thankful that they did not use my arm for chemo

I hate that I will not be Diamond level on Delta next year

I am thankful that my company provided insurance that covered all of my medical expenses this year

I hate the chemo room

I am thankful for the friends I made there

I hate that I will be on chemo again

I am thankful that I am still here

Lastly, I am thankful for all of you. I do not post often, but I am often lurking. Each message of hope, regardless of who it is meant for, carries a message of hope for me.

    You sure as hell don’t post much, but when you do, you say a hell of a lot with a very few words.

    Glad you are with us as we do need each other.
