Mon 29 Oct 2007 Chemo Round 1

I just could not get myself to sleep. Eventually took another of the little white pills that induce sleep.

I am shitting myself, I am stressing, I just want to cry, I am going mad with my mental visualisation working overtime and this after prayers, meditation and affirmations. I shudder to think what I would be like without my tools.

I can only imagine the stress levels. It's good that you have those inner powers to get you through this part of life's journey.

Thanks for allowing us to share in this journey so that we can also benefit from your learning experiences.

You can take some comfort in the many people who have already been through a similar ordeal and come out on top.

Talking of being on top .... there was a brass band and hundreds of cheering people with flags and balloons outside our building earlier today. I think they were there to give support to your chemo session ..... but it might also have something to do with the green open top bus that drove past with a bunch of big ou's showing off a shiny gold cup.

Hey Alida, I trust you made it through the day. Fear is something you manage..you can't wish it away and on some level it serves us..as you know. But you can manage it, just take the next step and the next and the next..one at a time.

I think next time it will be easier, non?

Much Love

Take care and hang in there.
