This week, I have another five day session of chemotherapy. I haven't mentioned my previous session, which was about a month ago, but it was a difficult time. I was more sick than I've ever been, and the ill period lasted a longer time, in fact, for more than a week after the session ended. I don't know how my body will react this time, but I'm really hoping for an easier time.

The mental image that I'm trying to concentrate on is one of the poisons (chemo) flowing directly to what remains of the original tumour and to the numerous implants (tiny tumours) that the doctors say are now lining my pelvis. The goal is to kill off the cancer cells with the chemo, and then have my regular healthy cells recover quickly from the session. If anyone else feels the urge to want to help, try concentrating on the same image that I am. Thanks, folks.
