Lately the chemotherapy has been kicking my butt, which isn’t a surprise as I haven’t taken a chemo break in a while. So I took at two day break and am starting back up tomorrow. I’m hoping that’s enough to give me some relief as it’s made walking difficult due to joint inflammation.
With this intensity it got me to thinking, again, that it’s not the cancer it’s the treatments like chemo, immunotherapy or the radiation that you pay attention to on a daily basis.
I barely ever think about the idea that I have cancer, as the focus is always on the treatment and it’s side affects.
Maybe it shouldn’t be a statement like - I have Cancer, instead it should be I have Chemo, or I have a protracted dose of immunotherapy or even I have a case of radiation.
I doubt it will catch on, but it sure feels like the chemo, immunotherapy and radiation are the main focus.
I think the treatments deserve some more clout. Maybe they even deserve a walk or a gala fundraiser.
