2/33 – Tuesday – Day #2
You know what? I’m feeling good.
Everything is starting to make sense. I’ve got my sweet, amazing Tesla. My husband is right here beside me. My doctors are incredible. And the machine they use? It looks like it came straight out of the future.
I’m holding on to this mindset – the belief that things are going to go well, maybe even better than expected. I want to be the person others turn to if they ever go through something like this. The one who can say, “You’ve got this,” and really mean it.
I’m going to kick cancer’s ass.
I’m going to win.
And I’m going to come out of this stronger, braver, and kinder than ever.
Today went really well. I didn’t cry, and I didn’t even feel like I might. Mentally, I felt strong. I met with my doctor and got to look at images from the CT scan and the treatment plan. I honestly love her personality and the way she explains everything – she always puts me at ease. We had a great talk about how things should go. She said the first few weeks are usually smooth, and that side effects tend to show up around week three – but of course, no one can say for sure if or when that will happen. I’m hopeful everything will stay steady and that, if I do have any side effects, they’ll be mild.
I also filled out a form today to connect with a counselor at the clinic. She’ll probably reach out on Monday. I think it’s such a thoughtful resource to offer patients. A little therapy session might be just what I need.
My updates might be a little more spaced out now, since treatment continues through September and I expect most days to be pretty routine. But I’ll definitely post if anything changes – especially if I run into any issues or discover tips that help. I like keeping track of what works.
I don’t think I’ll be crying anymore. I feel like I’ve stepped into a stronger version of myself. I made it through that first big hurdle, and now I’m hoping every day will feel like today – calm, quick, and manageable.
