No Rest For the Wicked

Ya, so I went to my DR./Chemotherapy appointment yesterday (Friday). My WBC's were back to a close to normal level so I "qualified" for another round of chemo. Despite qualifications and all that boo-ya-blah-blah, my brain is just lame. I have become very tired and in need of a break. Lisen to your body right? So I asked my DR. for some time to recoupe. Just a month please?
"AH??... Lori the results from your last C.T scan show that the therapy has been keeping your cancer stable." "Yes... well isn't that a good thing." [I mean everyone that does not have stage IV, terminal cancer is telling me that. Sorry , that was uncalled for... lets just say I am a little pissed off in the moment. I know that cancer being stable is better than cancer that is uncontrollable! So, yes things could always be worse.] Anyways, to make things short she said "NO... I am afraid of the what might happen." Yah DOC . I know what you mean.
Just between you (yes you) and I , I cried myself to sleep last night and I cry now. Though its not all sadness it's mixed with madness.

Name that tune or group
So I'm... insane in the membrane, insane got no brain...
Well at least I have music to help. Put on a good track and I have forgotten all thats been "whack!" Hey, I'm a poet and didn't know it!

So as always, the mantra is Fuck Cancer. Excuse my langauge, the devil, I mean the cancer made me say it. ;)

Well as usual, I feel better after writing.

Though I don't always mention it... I could never have gotten this far without my husband, family, friends, and all my cancer crounies. I Love you guys! Your support is the best medicine. I sincerely mean that.

post later

[...] Lori has gotten her levels up high enough so she can re-start chemo but she'd really rather not. Please check out her post No Rest for the Wicked to read about the frustration and complete exhaustion. [...]

i guess being stable doesn't tell the whole story. i do know other folks who have begged for a break too. i don't know how it feels to know that something that is saving you is all make you feel so shitty that you don't care about the good that it's doing. your blog is awesome and i'm so glad for others, but mostly yourself, that you're doing it. yes, fuck cancer and the dark horse that it rode in on.

much luv,

amiko
