You just have to laugh

Since the chemo really didn't work or do anything I have not been treated for the prostate cancer since June 30.  If you are scoring at home that's a long time.  One delay was trying to take biopsy's of
my lymph node and see what kind of cancer it really was.  Then one delay was me having my heart filled with fluid.  Then on Tue I am thinking I will finally be treated- 2nd round chemo.

Well no.....  One job I had- (it will be a miracle for me to be back there) was preparing taxes at HR Block.  I have a large number of clients, and you get to know who they are and what they have.  They give you papers to give you more clues of what they have been up to this year.  And finally at the end I may get someone mentioning something important as we finish.  Ahhhhhh!  I tell them its a partnership, we both are in it together, and anything at all they need to mention.  I take this attitude with seeing my docs.

With my doc at Loyola she was ready to send me to chemo, and I asked her about the upcoming radiation, what to expect.  This plan was over a month ago prior to me having my heart do its thing.  She looked at the notes, fully understood, and said the chemo would have to wait.  They cant give the 2 together, it could give a skin reaction.  I asked, get rid of wrinkles, and make me look beautiful?  She said no- laughed and called me a good person. 

So we see the radiation guy today.  It will be a short course (10 sessions?)  And then the chemo can start.  I am grateful for the support around me and I cant imagine anyone putting up with this stuff by themselves.
