#9 .....



 Ok, so today I talked on my phone nearly the whole time I was in chemo.  I even went as far as too write my name and birth date down for the nurses on an old receipt after the first time of having to say it which they have to do, but it interrupted the flow of my chat).  They do it every time, for every bag, likely for security reasons, but every time I am the same person with the same birth date.  I truly did not want to be there, so I just called people and chatted away.  I was in a room I could shut the slider and be in a phone frenzy, chemo bubble.
   Earlier in the waiting room downstairs (btw I just found the stairs so I don't have to use the janky elevator anymore between two floors) this two time cancer survivor really wanted me to do all four treatments.  I pretty much told her I'd take it into consideration, and said that yes, I would pray about it...
  So skip all the hellos and this and that, after I was off the phone call I was on, or one of them  the radiologist had come upstairs to see me.  I basically think he said no radiation.  I was so sort of surprised at one point, because he started talking about my pictures I think, or what was it, my brain is chemofried at the moment.  I said, did you google me?  He had, which was fine, reason being he asked what I do and just brushed him off in the conversation by saying in the past I'd been a student and had done some free lance modeling.  Then we started about other things, he asked about a certain place I hadn't heard of in a blog.  It seemed he thought he had been reading my blog.  Nope, it wasn't me....
  So in a couple weeks, the 31st if all goes well, I will be doing number 10.  Speaking of modeling, I got contacted yesterday by someone for what looked like a fun shoot, and a good tog (photographer) alas, I won't be doing that....
  Another one, I know (I never mention names in this blog) has some good work I would like to shoot with as well.  We shall see when.
  I think it will take a couple months to get my body back to where I want it.  So much is about the angles when it comes to my concerns and lighting..ok, skip all that....I don't look that different, I'm neurotic...
  As far as cancer goes, it's gone, and I'm insuring it will stay gone with two not four chemo treatments, they told me they haven't any scientific reason for picking four in the first place....
  So the nasty tummy shot in the morning, it's not so bad, it's always on the side of the stomach, I can feel it go in.  I also can taste saline when they flush that port.  Gum is always in my mouth.

 oooh I think everyone should read this book I read yesterday by Mother Teresa "No Greater Love," very fast read, and so important I believe no matter what your faith or belief system.  Amazing!  My friend she (you) know who you are, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
