While I'm not looking forward to the painful, belly-tapping procedure itself, I'm eagerly anticipating the relief it will provide. I'm uncomfortable all the time, which makes me tired and brings down my spirits. As a result, I'm not where I want to be - geared up to fight, fight, fight.
I remember reading in a book that some women feel better once they start ovarian cancer treatment. Despite the side effects of the chemotherapy, the ascities pain and overwhelming tiredness from their body trying to fight the disease alone is gone.
I hope this is the case for me. I'm concerned because I'm not as positive or determined as I was last time. My thoughts sometimes settle in the dark recesses of my mind, stewing over what could happen. I don't want to be that person, but I can't help it. I need action.
I almost feel as though I'm stuck in one of my chemo induced funks. Let me out! I prefer having a positive, fighting spirit than to be this negative, grumpy, pain-filled person.
I pray this week brings a plan of attack and wakes up the sleeping warrior in me.
