Day 35. That is 840 hours, or 50,400 minutes, or 3,024,000 seconds since I started kicking cancer's ass with my first infusion of chemotherapy. Wow. How time flies when you're having fun!
Today was a normal day for me. No sickness. No fever. No aches or pains. No bad side effects at all. I even went to work, went to the health food store (for prenatal vitamins...but that's a whole other post), and had lunch with a friend. All totally normal! I even wore my big girl hair so I'd look like a normal person instead of a cancer patient.
If only I could get over the feeling that I'm an imposter when I wear my wig. It's just weird. It makes me wish I had worn more costumes or played dress up more when I was little. Or joined the circus. Or performed historical re-enactments. Anything that would have gotten me used to wearing fake hair on my head. Because it's just NOT normal. Or comfortable. I see why so many women choose to go "topless". Unfortunately I am not one who can "rock the bald", nor do I want to.
Anyway, I digress. It felt good to just be myself today. I didn't have any doctor's appointments or forms to fill out. I didn't take any medicine other than my vitamins & an allergy pill. I didn't even get any medical bills in the mail! It's moments like this when every little minute is NOT about cancer that make me happy.
