Anniversaries

Anniversaries

They say you never forget the day someone told you those 3 words no one ever wants to hear.  I am here to tell you they are right.  I've been told it is perfectly normal to experience symptoms as your anniversary approaches, as well as around the time of your next MRI.  It is stressful. People will tell you it's nothing, but that doesn't ease the anxiety.  Because with any kind of cancer if you get an unexplained pain it triggers something in the back of your mind that thinks maybe this is it.  Its back.  I can't help it and I think it is normal.

Today I woke up feeling fine. I started feeling nauseous, but chocked it up to hunger.  Then I went to the store to get stuff for dinner.  People must have thought I was drunk because I couldn't walk it a straight line.  I was walking diagonally.  I got back in the car.  That is when I realized that I had a pain right behind my left eye.  It felt (for lack of a better description) like someone or something was trying to push my eye out of its socket.  I came home took some Imitrex laid down next to Mike.  He had to open the packet for me. Now I am sitting on the couch typing and my right shoulder and arm are simply EXHAUSTED.

I think this is all because my cancerversary (cancer anniversary) is in 1 month and 7 days.  But if the symptoms persist for a few days I will check with Fink.

No one has all the answers.  You have to find what works for you.

Hopefully my homicidal child (Snarla) is still asleep.
