It was a good day, a very good day (quoth Rainwoman)

Well hello all. Quick update tonight to say that it was a good day today. I actually slept well (check) and then when I woke up, I was hungry (supercalifragilistically CHECK!) Giddy UP!! As I have been advised, and as I have read, and as I am learning, discovering, experiencing for myself - every day is in fact different. And thus, when I have a good day, I have much for which to be thankful. Again, perspective, right? (and Frosted Flakes this morning! Going with that carb thing) ;-)

I saw my regular radiation oncologist today as she is back from vacation and she actually apologized for not being around on the first day of my treatment. I was touched by that because it wasn't bull shit. I mean, she is actually a doctor who cares. Another thing for which to be grateful as I really do have amazing doctors. She gave me a hug when I saw her and then we discussed how I'm feeling, side effects (headaches and the like) and she did say that if I had headaches, that likely meant swelling and then she would have to prescribe steroids for me. What impressed me is that she actually remembered the awful side effects I had the last time I was on them. Uuuughghghghg. Did I say awful?!?! In any event, she rocks. Totally, absolutely rocks. I have her cell number and she, too, has an iPhone. She said "we should do Face Time!" We giggled about that. :-)

So....I am seeing Dr Mint Green Shirt (aka Oncologist Chemo Dude) next Wednesday as he wants to see how I am doing on the Chemocet (as if! Nothing happy in those big pills) and both docs have The Forms to fill out and sign so I can go out on leave. Although I feel good today - and again super pleased about that - tomorrow may be different. I am saying "Thank you Supreme Dude(ette)" for a good day. And although I know it will get more and more exhausting, especially with the Nuke-a-Noodle and the increasing effects of the daily Chemodin (again, I wish it was happy....is that bad?) at this point, I am just taking 'er one day at a time. :-) Every day is a gift .....and I will get through this....with your help, your love and the unbelievable love and support of my dear darling hubby.

Amd on that happy note, This Gal is signing off for tonight, my dear friends and family and again - thanks for YOU!  Tonight's sign off courtesy of my pal MS who is galavanting in the British Isles ....how delightful! (I am living vicariously through her at the moment, thanks to Facebook) 

Radiating Happiness and Positive Chemotions,

Cancerella (aka Rainwoman tonight), Sir Chocolatahad and The Two Felines (whose real names are Suzie and Gracie. Just sayin'...a constant source of amusement) :-)
