so, as you’ve probably gathered from my past few blog posts, chemo has not been getting any easier as time has gone on. but, i am quite pleased to report that, thanks to a lovely new addition to my (increasingly strong) drug cocktail, i have emerged from round 9 relatively unscathed. i resisted steroids for as long as i could, given my persistent aversion to drugs of all kinds, but am so glad i finally relented. this time, i felt sick and nauseous and tired and all that fun stuff, but at least i felt like myself. i didn’t go so far into a hazy, drug-induced stupor as to be unrecognizable to myself and others, and that was a huge relief. let’s go three week break! and then it’s back for round 10. ding ding ding. hooray steroids!
Completely flips the meaning of the phrase in your June 29 post, “This was like chemo on steroids”. 🙂
haha! nice catch. i noticed, too, when i went back and read the submerged post again a couple days ago. what do they call that? manifesting destiny? 😉
