It must feel so ironic to sit there in chemo appearing to be getting a less harsh looking treatment for what is actually a more harsh round two with the cancer beast. It must be difficult to not speak up about what you're really facing. Glad your Trinity Team is so awesome.

Sometimes they watch as I get my port flushed and go on about my day, and I imagine they wonder if my bad-hair day is really a cheap wig!

Often we think of death in the abstract and your secondary status changes the abstract to the concrete.<br /><br />I am sorry for that. I am not sorry for the joy with which you have embraced every part of your life.
