Chemo

I had chemo today. Started the second cycle of topotecan. I was "stuck" four (4) times before the IV was stable and didn't blow a vein. I remember thinking, no big deal. It was no big deal to me. No big deal that my veins are getting fragile. No big deal I had an IV inserted in my arms four times before it was stable. No big deal I'm doing chemo once a week. No big deal. That is how much my life has changed.  Next time you feel sorry for yourself because someone said something that hurt your feelings or you didn't get what you wanted or you missed lunch one day. Think about what is truly important and then re-think the pity party......
