Morning

by Tom Dunn

Wednesday

I’m sick again today. I was going along pretty well for awhile, but that’s when it sneaks up on me. Same old fatigue, headache, aching, touchiness, fogginess. You’ve heard this song before. It’s times like this when I start to worry. Is the treatment working as well as it should? Will I need stronger chemo to get rid of this cancer? What will that be like? Will I run out of leave and vacation days before I can return full time to work? What if the side effects get worse?

Next Monday morning I’m getting another PET/CT scan. It will tell us how effective the treatment has been so far. Roslyn and I are praying hard for good scan results. I worry what will happen if we don’t get them. Later next week is treatment number three. I hope it goes well.

…and, I’m back to feeling fine. Things are looking up! I feel confident that things are going as they should.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support.

  1. Hang in there. It’s a long haul this cancer thing. It just sucks and I am so sorry you are feeling ill. I too hope you get good results. I know in our case the questions you ask were the same ones we asked and it is scary. I am so glad that you are in the care of some of the best in this area. If you ever need to talk let us know…and know always we are thinking of you and Roslyn sending you good vibes.
