Thanks for asking, bennett! I have a huge stack of books in my room right now, thanks to my book club and others, and I wonder when I'm going to get to them. I treasure them, and I hope to get to them someday, but right now Good Omens fanfic is hitting that concentration/interest sweet spot. That may change, but they say the next round of chemo the side effects will be much worse neurologically, so I have to be ready for anything

That's going to have to be my new motto: be ready for anything.

Our wings are not tired.

Send me the info for WhatsApp too please. I haven't set it up yet so this is a good reason to jump in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I finally did start using it, so am excited (??) to have another use.

I will probably get an update out about my cancer stuff tonight or maybe tomorrow after the doctors do rounds. Short version: I also have cancer in my cerebrospinal fluid and they are going to treat it as aggressively as my body will allow (DO IT). This involves injections of chemo into my spine every two to three days for an indeterminate amount of time. Problem is, my spine is a jerk, and there's only one space that will accept a needle (of course) between the L2 and L3 vertebrae. This is in addition to my IV chemo regimen. Everyone is still amazing, both personally and professionally. New weird crises pop up, like extremely painful mucositis in my urinary tract that resolved itself the next day. They tell me my heart and lungs are strong and I'm tolerating the chemo really well, and I'm trying to walk at least a half mile on the floor each day. So every day is an adventure in generosity and gratitude, stress and pain, letting go of my life, while trying to hold onto it.

I was diagnosed two weeks ago.

amyth, do you have any preferences in tea? Black/green/rooibos/etc? Also, if you can't have fresh fruit, can you at least have dried fruit?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dang. Come on, chemo, be extremely effective!
