3 Weeks since my last chemo
3 Weeks
21 Days
504 Hours
How quickly the time has past, and for many if you it has past without a thought. For me, I have felt every minute of every day and counted down to this next moment, the moment that brings me back here at the Cancer centre, the moment that they intravenously inject the chemo drugs into me again.
My brain is preparing, I can feel the cogs in my head shifting and turning my focus and awareness inwards. I can hear my heart beating inside me, I can hear my blood thrumming through my veins. I am in tune with my body again.
The cogs in my brain are turning frantically and I am conscious that I need to harness the power of my brain again before if runs away. I am reminded of the wise words of my friend Helen. She said "your brain is your best friend and your worst enemy." What she said next was very powerful. She said "find a way to muster the friend and banish the enemy."
That is what I need to do now - banish the enemy. The assault of the chemo impacts my brain more than my body.
I may not be able to blog for a few days as I prepare for round two.
