Some Days

Some days are better than others. Yesterday was a better day. Even though I heaved first thing in the morning, I had three solid meals and felt good. Today, no heaving. But my stomach felt uneasy most of the day. I couldn’t get comfortable in any position, I felt kind of queasy and unsettled. That’s just how it is I guess. So on days like today, I just take a chill and do nothing. 

Tomorrow I have an appointment so I will have to leave the house. Wish me luck. 

This time last year I had an MRI that showed a mass near the center of my chest. My oncologist was worried that the breast cancer had metastasized and it was Stage 4 cancer. We lived in such fear for days…little did we know that it was a thymoma, this other unrelated mass. So much has changed in a year, so much knowledge gained, so much time lost on illness. And now I’m scheduled at the end of July to have the remnants of that very mass removed. How time flies…
