D157: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAN?

I want to say thank you to Julie T who came for my hospital fun run. We never had the oppportunity to talk to each other properly until today. I put a call out about transport for my daily radiation. She kindly offers to help even when we didn’t quite know each other. I’m a believer that people come into your life for a reason. It was nice to spend time with her. I get to hear her story. She shared how she lost 2 of her partners through cancer. She understands a lot about me. Some people don’t quite understand the impact of chemo and how it makes me quite sick and weak. When I said I have to go through 10 months chemo, she commented how l’d have plenty of spare time…if only that was true. Unfortunately, I’d been spending most of my spare time feeling sick or lethargic and hiding away from sick people ha.

We started talking about how cancer makes it difficult to plan anything. One day my body can be good and the next day it can turn bad. Good thing is the opposite does happen too.

You’ll find out there is a blessing in disguise when you have to live your life one day at a time.

PS: I’ve been losing weight since I got sick and in pain a couple of weeks ago. I’m the lightest I’ve been to date. My awesome dietitian, Lauren, already warned me that she doesn’t want me to lose anymore weight. Please send healing vibes and appetite my way. I have 4 more days to put some back on before going back for 5 days chemo this Wednesday.

Blessings 🙂
