Surprise

After two first chemo's ,by the third week, my legs were giving me trouble and I could hardly walk.
This time after the third chemo I would wake up every morning and wait for the legs to be swollen and painful, but so far so good...
It is true that the nurse said it may be that one can outgrow the pain in the legs - and she was evidently right. I am so full of joy and want to tell all my colleagues that
there may be some good news even during our difficult journey.
Also sleeping with "xanax" makes all the difference; I have no bad dreams, do not toss and turn
and sleep without anxiety.
On the negative side I developed some sort of red rush on my hands and a bit on feet, which my oncologist tells me is not related to my chemo treatment, but most likely is a virus that is due to my immune deficiency. I read up on it and am nor really looking forward to the possible treatment.
There is a saying that: "if ever there is a very thin material it will tear"; how sad but true.
