Looking toward April
I passed the creatinine test today so tomorrow's chemotherapy is scheduled. I was still out of range, but less than last week which was less than earlier, the reading that caught everyone's attention.
So, I have two more chemotherapy cycles, the one tomorrow and the one three weeks from tomorrow. That gives me six weeks to plan my new life. The truth is, I'm feeling a bit lost. After 10-1/2 years of nonstop infusions, including five years of weekly treatment, I don't quite have the grip on life that I felt before all this started.
I'm glad International Fake Journal Month is starting on April 1st. It's a time to do art differently - either by choosing a different size book or working on a different kind of paper, or opting for different subject matter or working with supplies or techniques not usually used. I'm even clueless on that - I have no idea what I will commit to this year. I only know that I flaked the last two years, starting out with zeal and dropping out a few days into the project.
But I love the slogan for Fake Journal Month: Life's so short, why live only one?

Good luck with the chemo tomorrow, Barbara, and thanks for mentioning Fake Journal Month--the idea of it made me smile at the end of a long day!
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca - If I were a more evolved soul I'd be stressing my gratitude that such treatment is available to me. Alas, I'm dreading it because I feel better every day now and don't want to go backwards. Just 6 more weeks.....
