Cut to the chase

The past three weeks have been kind to me and I was very worried it meant the medicine was not working. The doctor explained as the tumor shrinks I will feel better, less side affects from the disease. The medicine we are using is intended to lessen the chemo side affects as well. Hence I feel better.

I went to a meeting for my bowling league last week and was horribly offended by one of the bowlers. She asked me if I should really be there....I was wearing a face mask to protect myself from the people there, not to protect them from me. Had she not visibly stepped away from me I would have thought her comment was out of concern for me...the step back and further avoidance showed me that was not the case.

Yesterday I went for my labs, while waiting a woman approached me, gently put her hand on my left arm and told me 'You are beautiful. Ten years ago, I was you.'
