Dont take life too seriously!

Today was another busy day in the life of this Cancer business.  I started out the day getting radiation in Effingham at 8:30 this morning.  I rushed home and picked up my chauffeur for the day, Mom.  We then headed to Evansville!  Keep in mind I am having a few embarrassing to say the least side effects!  I tried not to eat all day to avoid any problems.  Those of you that know me well know that that is almost impossible for me to do.  Food is really one of my favorite things.  Anyway I ate a little and spent most of my site seeing today in various bathrooms in Evansville.  For you ladies out there, have you ever had to get a pap smear when you were having diarrhea.  Horrifying!  The second doctor I saw today was a new Radiology Oncologist.  He will be doing my internal radiation.  Internal radiation will be done at 2 different sessions and the process will take about 2 hours.  It wont be the most pleasant 2 hours I have spent, but it will be worth it.    Then I headed off to see my new gynecologist!    Another pap test!  By the end of the day my head was spinning and I am exhausted.  My side effects are hopefully at their worst, extreme burning, problems with seeing too many bathrooms, and extreme exhaustion.   But the countdown is on, to being done that is.  I am looking forward to going back to work as soon as possible.   Then my focus will be on Lucas who will be having heart surgery on February 25th!    Still trying to keep the stress level down, trying to focus on whats important and not taking life to seriously!    A wonderful man that I have worked with for 20 years has always said "Don't take life to seriously and don't ever take it personally".   Every day I fight to be as positive as I can and focus on all the good in the world, I hope you all do the same!  God Bless and Thanks Dr K!
