Kicking Ass Day #3
This morning I had my third chemo treatment. All went well and I had my big brother to keep me company. The entire process lasts about 3 hours and is painless. People are really friendly, the even bring you drinks and cookies if you want! The worst part is that they are pumping you with so many fluids and telling you to drink lots of water, so it seems like you are always peeing! I still get a lot of stares when I am at the cancer centre. I know this is because most of the patients are at least 30-40 years older than I am. Hopefully I will get used to this. I really hate the pity looks though. The looks where you know exactly what they are thinking. I was on the phone making an appointment the other day and when I told the women my age her response was "awwww you are younger than I am". Yes I know that I am young! Yes I know that it isn't really fair! But those are the cards I have been dealt and I don't need reminders from people. Sorry hope that didn't sound too angry:) Anyways I am doing good, going to try to force myself to go for a walk right now even though the couch looks so much more appealing.
