Cancer is a full time job

Boy, my life these days is very reminiscent of January 2003, when I was extremely ill after my first attack of multiple sclerosis. Just like then, it seems like I have some type of medical appointment almost every day of the week. Except, of course, now the appointments usually have something to do with the "lumps in my bumps." If I'm not actually at a doctor's office then I'm at the pharmacy, or on the phone speaking to a nurse, or at my computer researching some medical topic. Honestly, you should see my daily calendar! Even my current social life seems to revolve around cancer, with yoga classes at the oncology center or luncheons with the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls. Not that I'm complaining about this part. The Cowgirls are a great group of ladies, and they have been a wonderful source of support and information. And I enjoy the yoga classes, too (with the exception of the person who loudly passes gas). But I hope one day to have a life that doesn't revolve around being sick.

On another note, I'm getting closer to a decision about my surgery. More on that later, as I still need to do a little more research...
