Day 4


It went really well today. Jen and I watched Mr Brooks and since there were only a couple other people, it went quick. When the room is full, it might take a while for them to change your medicine and that causes the appointments to go longer. I am really looking forward to the end of tomorrow and taking it easy this weekend. I fully expect to go to work on Monday so things seem normal. Of course, i need to stop at the Dr for a shop and hopefully that wont take too long.

As we drow home today, Jen asked how I was doing. 4 hours of drugs pumping through your systems gives you time to feel it and think about it. It's just so strange that I have this and it is still a little unreal. I've never been one to say "why me" because the opposite question of "why not me" is just as valid. I shouldn't be immune to anything that randomly strikes people more than the next person and it might just boil down to a numbers game. I won a Nintendo Wii earlier this year and if I would have know that was compensation for cancer, I would have given it back. Who wants to have good "luck" when includes the potential of getting crappy things. Anyway, when Addison got sick at the end of March and spent 3 days in the Hospital, i said I would do anything to protect the girls. Maybe this awful 12 weeks will keep them safe.

80 days to go.

Sam,

I do not know how you got so wise. It has taken me years and years just to come to where I am today. I kind of bargin with G-d sometimes and say I will do this or that if what I want can happen.

So I promise that when I win the Lotto, everything will be better, but no matter what, if you are well and the rest of all out families stay well, it would only mean that we could have more money to do the things we love.

I too am glad you can have the week end off. It may also be the committment of having to be there without the freedom of change. Not much flexibility with having Cancer.

When you get tired of my telling you how much I admire and love you, just let me know. Until then, know my heart is with you everyday and that I love you bigger than the world.

Mom

Sammy --

It's great to hear that week one is behind you and that you seem to be feeling quite well. I think it is great news.

It's also nice to see that your sense of humor (ie. philosphy) is still very much intact. Don't forget to keep pumping that iron so you don't lose all the chest muscles that you have obviously worked so hard for.....

Take care,

Jeff
