Hi Everyone,
Overall, a very good day. The nausea wasn't as bad today as the first day after the first chemo, and I have a little more life force this time around. Things change daily, and I don't know what comes tomorrow, but today I was in the moment and happy for my progress.
I thought I would share that for the past few weeks I have been calling my breasts by name and I have found this to be quite helpful, for numerous reasons. The left breast (the one with cancer) I have named "Tito": not only is this a reference to a body part, but Tito was an energetic member of the Jackson 5. Kind of unpredictable, at times a bit out of control. The right one is "Blanket": son of Michael, quiet, seemingly very gentle, but we don't know much about him yet. Not sure yet if he is benign. But for now, he's quiet.
I could feel Tito burning today, and that's a great sign. The tumor is melting away. It's a day you don't want to take pain killers so you can feel the process happening. Tito is on the run.
Love,
Kip
so glad to hear day one of round two went well and that Tito is on the run. These blog postings have been such a great way to keep up to date but also (and I wonder if this was part of the intent) it lets all of us who love you and can't be with you know that there are many there to help and touch you in healing ways that we would if we could. Thank you. Love Walter
ReplyDeleteRun, Tito, run! Faster, faster. Leave body Kip! Get outa sight! Leave this universe!
ReplyDeleteYes, Walter, I agree. We are able to be a community for Kip and a community together-- we who would not know each other at all, if it were not for that naughty Tito. But still, we would rather Tito had not been the naughty, energetic, fast growing pest.
