The Joy of Life

Cancer wakes you up!

No, I don't mean in the middle of the night - although that is of course true!  I mean that now, half way through cycle seven (currently sitting in the unit being topped up with Cetuximab) it's clear that I've never felt so full of life.  Maybe a little weak and watery, but so aware of "everything" and a crystal clear sense of "self" within that everything - truly "awake" (goodness, is that the drugs having an effect?!?!?)

Folded in amongst the now familiar routine of blood tests, infusions and pump removals, the last two weeks have been full of "living"; whether it be dinner parties or party games with friends, or delivering a promised document into my project at work.  Even "blogging and "just sitting" (heavens, something I have not done much of before!) is stimulating in a relaxed sort of way - and to cap it all, the family are coming (in three relays!) over the coming weekend, to celebrate Diana'a birthday. 

Cycle 7 is proving to be most enjoyable!
