"Mundane" Life

Ahh...mundane life...wherefore art thou? Thee is fickle and elusive. Come...come to me, I beg you.
Anyhow. Thought I'd preface this with that sentiment. My life has taken on a mundane routine of sorts. Interminably long days spent at treatments. Literally 5-6 hour ordeals, sometimes longer. I am, however, feeling better than I have in a long, long time. The pain is under control and I'm able to sleep at night without crying and having Ramon spend the same sleepless nights trying to console me and make me comfortable.
The lesions on my chest wall are currently the focus of treatments. They are treating too many areas so some parts would have to wait. There are swollen nodes on the back of my neck which they are radiating as well. My body is so fatigued but I am able to now get up out of bed without too much effort. This was almost impossible about a month ago. One of the other patients at the treatment center commented on how much better I look. She didn't think I was going to make it, she said, when she first laid eyes on me. Well, that made two of us.
Tomorrow I have to go in for a brain and face MRI. The sinuses are acting up again and no one believes me when I tell them it's related to the cancer. The doctor gave me more antibiotics. I've had a previous ten day course of the stuff without any improvement. But oblige to his wishes I must. We'll see. Maybe it is just sinusitis except my vision is affected. Is that normal sinusitis? We shall soon see. I pray that everything turns out okay. God, please let it be so.
