Improvement continues
I don’t know if these are perks or just things to be thankful for, but boy does it pay to get cancer treatment in the Boston area. I had my first session of chemo Tuesday, and, except for the split-second ickiness of getting the IV in, it was downright pleasant. I give all the credit for that to the staff—not only was I physically comfortable for the 3-4 hours of therapy, but they let me have plenty of food and company available. My guess is that they’re so good at this because the majority of their patients don’t have the ridiculous support network I do—or perhaps not even the positive prognosis I do. But anyway, they’re just so good at what they do, in part, I guess, because they deal with cases much more demanding than mine.
Add to that how easy it is for family to temporarily set up shop in the same town, how supportive the Boston university community is in watching out for their employees (thanks again, Tufts!), there’s just so much to be thankful for, even though there are still enough antibodies partying in me to keep me awake for good chunks of the night and even though my memory is still impaired.
Every day is better than the one before, and that trend has remained unreversed since surgery last month. So here’s looking forward to continued improvement!
