I’ve never been good at maths. I’m a words person. Numbers are often like a foreign language to me.
So when I initially calculated how long my treatment would go for, it appeared as if I’d be finishing up in April 2011. Eighteen months since I found the lump.
Nope.
My oncologist (who is thankfully excellent with numbers), just advised that I should be finished treatment by December this year. Almost five months earlier than I’d thought. And better yet. It would be finished before Christmas!
My doc has ordered Nik and I to go on a holiday at Christmas time. “You’ll deserve it,” she said. We had been planning to go away next year for my 30th birthday, slotting it in between treatments and told the doctor so. She said, “Well, you just have to go away twice then!”
Doctors really are some of the smartest people around!

Hi Simone,
ReplyDeleteWith each blog I read (and some of the amazing comments that have been posted), I feel more and more "wordless." There is so much in my heart but I can't even come close to putting those feelings and words in writing, certainly not as beautifully and completely as you have. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
