Another difficult day trying get through treatment. The long hours spent doing treatments are starting to take their toll. Yesterday my dad and I were at the treatment center for almost 6 hours. They had to take a series of x-rays but only after all the other patients have had their treatments. The waiting was interminable. I was also chastised for refusing radiation treatments. The reason for my refusal has been my standing belief that it is the root of my nausea. The doctors all seem to disagree with my assessment.
I was feeling very weak today and even walking necessitated the assistance of my husband. To compound today's ordeal, I found little bumps on my chest which my new oncologist confirmed were cancerous lesions invading my chest wall. He is therefore starting me on systemic chemo, the very thing I have sworn never to take again. Just when my hair was starting to grow back, it looks like I may lose it again. I am also not too enthused about the fact that I will once again suffer all the nasty side effects that are inevitable with chemo.
Such is my life. Mundane it is not.
