Well, we're about 1 week into the process. The daily drive to KC seems long, but gets a little better each day. The Iatan powerplant really throws a kink into my day!!
Today I had an awakening of sorts. I had to meet with my radiation doc, as all patients do on Monday. All of the sudden, while we're waiting for the appt., I heard a nurse say: "We need an interpreter!!" Can you imagine how frightening it would be to have cancer and not speak English or understand what is happening? It's frightening enough. I can't imagine not speaking our native tongue and understanding what medicines and drugs are being used to combat this dreaded disease. Someone needed an interpreter to explain their cancer, and the nurses at the station were so sweet in trying to assist.
tomorrow is a 7 hour chemo day starting bright and early. eGads! I hope they give me something to sleep. The steroids and medicines tend to make one ancy.....and, can you imagine me chained up for 7 hours?
Again, I'm blessed with wonderful friends and family. They soothe the rough patches of life.
Much Love,
Julie
