The start to a new week

Today I had to work out my schedules as they had me making two trips, one for chemo, and later one for radiation. I can't do that. We finally came upon a solution that is workable for both groups.  The first effects of all this are starting to be felt. Nausea at breakfast for the first time.  Having anxiety issues real bad, things like this manifest themselves and then cause me to become extremely anxious.  I am not having any issue with radiation at the moment. The hardest part is getting on the table and assuming the position for my radiation. Not being twenty any longer, moving around can be a real challenge. I'm glad the technicians have a sense of humor.  I have made many friends so far but a little lady that sits by the fireplace has become someone I gravitate to.  I overheard her say to a lady sitting with her that she didn't know how she was going to pay for all this.  At a time like this in your life, sometimes it appears as if vultures come out of the sky to pick your bones clean.  I sat next to her and chatted for awhile and found that she was eighty four and lived alone.  She has a visiting nurse that drops by but otherwise no family.  After she left I sat and looked into the flames and realized that there is always someone who has it worse than you.  I think we will become friends, good friends.
