Another Tunnel, Another Light
Today is much better. I am still staggeringly tired and I can only do one thing at a time before I have to rest. But one thing is so much better than no things.
I am closer to feeling like “myself” than I was yesterday. I am, however, avoiding all glimpses of the calendar because when I see the next treatment listed there I start thinking about how quickly I can find my passport and pack and catch the next plane to Bora Bora or Tasmania or Mars or anywhere else in the universe that is far, far away from Adriamycin and Cytoxan and Neulasta.
Tomorrow—exactly one week after the first treatment—I will return to the doctor’s office for a blood test to track how my body is handling the chemo so far.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and words of strength and encouragement.
I can feel you and it helps more than you will ever know.

I hope you can feel this:

So glad it is better today- I am glad you can feel all the warm wishes coming your way! I think about you constantly and lift you up in prayer many times a day, and I know that so many others are doing the same. I also wish I could take some of this pain away. But, I still have hope that this is just your body's initial reaction to the meds and that the next times won't be this bad. Do you have a favorite dessert or dinner or anything that I can make and bring down? Anything at all- you name it, I will make it- please let me know if there is anything I can do - no matter how trivial - to make your day a little better. Favorite magazine I can pick up or flowers you like - anything- just say the word. We love having Matthew around, too- so send him down anytime you need peace and quiet. Take good care-
Cynthia

Kim, I too am thinking of you. Wish I could magically take it all away . You know that Blake is welcome at our home any time. We love having him over, even with a cold. We are at the Vineyard and will be home next week. We'll be in touch. You're in my thoughts- sending a big hug and prayers.
