This quote attributed to Jack London was posted in my oncologist's office:
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of a man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

This latest round of chemotherapy has really kicked my butt. My original dose during 6 weeks of radiation was 140 mg once a day. This last round of chemo only lasted 5 days, but they had me on 400 mg of poison per day. I am still feeling crummy from it. I feel immense fatigue, my head is in a fog, my left arm and leg are weak and I am having trouble walking again... Feeling discouraged today, I realized I hadn't said my morning prayers. I also decided I need all the help I can get today - especially from my Father above who knows me best. |
