Many times when I blog it is about hardships that I am going through due to the cancer. Writing about these trials and tribulations is very therapeutic for me. Thank you to those who follow along throughout this experience.
There are a lot of awful things that happen to my body due to the treatments I am going through, but I think I have also learned to live a bit more. Sounds a bit crazy, but those days that I feel good, I go out and do something. I am just thankful to be able to do something so I am less apt to put it off another day. Don't get me wrong, I still procrastinate on tasks that need to get done, like cleaning the house. But this week I really wanted to be at the beach so my husband, kids and I went down and enjoyed an hour in the lake, just because we could. Good thing we did, it got cold today! Tomorrow I plan on going for a walk again. Probably not a 5k, like I had been doing, but the blisters are gone for the most part, so I am just going to go as far as I can.
Tonight I went to a play and I am so glad I did not put it off. The show was fantastic and it was great to reconnect with my theater folks. I feel like I have been gone for so long, but two kids and cancer will do that.
So here I am very thankful for what I am able to do, which seems to be more and more by the day. It just seems weird that the cancer is still in there, I don't feel it. I do feel the sores in my mouth from the chemo. And on the positive side, my mouth hurts quite a bit, so maybe I won't eat much and lose some weight. In fact that is what makes me mad about this stupid cancer. If I have it, I could at least have the kind that would help me lose weight. 😅
Here's to living life more and truly appreciating each day I am given.
