Wait and see. Much of this cancer journey so far has been Wait and see. A lot of waiting and not much seeing. It seems like forever since I had any measurement of how the little white pill is working - 3 months which has crawled along. I have a very full life, time flies, but the cancer part seems to crawl. The "yeah but" part? I frequently have a small cough - feels like a very small piece of food is stuck on the edge of my wind pipe. I am pretty sure it is caused by accasional serious indigestion and burping up acid, kind of burning my throat. But in the backgound is the question, "Is this the cough of the cancer growing?"
Have I gone to a doctor to get it checked out? No. Why not? 1. Fear of bad news.
2. Tired of seeing doctors. 3. "It will pass". I have an ingrown toenail which since its beginning 3 months ago gets better then worse again. Have not been to a doc for that either. Okay, I will go. For both. Soon.
It is cooler here especially at night and early morning than it has been for about 6 weeks. I could ride my bike again - no more "It's too hot" excuse. It is now 1:25am Sunday morning. I do hereby commit to get up and ride by 9am. I'll tell you about it.

About the toenail.... a couple of years ago, both big toes were bothering me big time. A specialist took of the left big toe, but didn't want to do both at the same time. However, I watched what he did; went to the pharmacy to buy a special clipper; and did the right one myself. I did a better job, had no pain (vs. a lot of pain), and spent about 3 bucks (vs. $800).
ReplyDeleteMy first comment was probably funnier. But he didn't take it off; he took care of the left big toe.
