I’ve reached a milestone of sorts. It was three years ago this week that I ended
my cancer treatments and came home from Chicago. This week has been filled with a lot of mixed
emotions. I’m truly grateful and relieved
that I have no signs of cancer recurrence but I was also frustrated and
discouraged from my recent flare up of lymphedema. I’ve heard the stories of cancer survivors
who run marathons or raise thousands of dollars to celebrate their milestones/anniversaries. Amazing and inspiring, but that’s not
me. Quiet time around the house with
Johnny is a perfect way for me to celebrate this time.
Johnny has been fatigued from this latest round
of chemo so we’ve been hanging out and watching the Tribe. We've also found someone who does Myers cocktails. It's essentially an intravenous vitamin infusion. I've now done two. Johnny had his first yesterday. Seems like a definite energy boost.
Also on the good news front is I don’t need the compression bandages for the lymphodema as
much. And my arm is almost back to its normal size.
