My First Chemo Day
October 12, 2016:
I'm placed in a huge room with about 50 other brave, tough souls going through whatever battle God has chosen for them to fight. I'm keenly aware of the people around me, how these diverse folks deal with pain, grief, family, loss, anger, loneliness, God, hope, and joy. I'm also very sensitive of the lives and interactions of all the doctors, PA's and nurses.
My hearing was quite heightened to a degree I can’t explain. I could hear everything that was being said behind the desk, in some cases, even conversations on the phone. They have their own unique stories dealing with caring for all of us, dealing with each other, family issues that enter their day, and how they do or don't feel about God. I feel so grateful and blessed. God has placed me in a very beautiful situation. I'm in a minority of people who go through this battle. I have this amazing opportunity to experience things I never have before. So unusual. So challenging. So comforting and scary at the same time.
I've had more joy in the last month than I have in the last two years. I'm so at peace about this journey. I totally accept and embrace any plan God had for me. Either way... it's a win-win!
