I went in on Friday for my treatment to find out that in reality I only have 2 treatments left. I was told that I was going to have 21 sessions but instead I am having 18. My smile rose from ear to ear. I was so happy and excited for the first time in a very long time that the other patients looked at me like I was a freak. I didn't care. Deep down inside they were happy for me, I know it! So this means I finish everything on Wednesday, May 21st. By my birthday, the event, I will be offically over with treatments, officially cancer-free. Free from all this procedure and medecine. Free from pain and on to a new beginning with my life.
I am looking forward to start new. To try and make things better. To view the world through different, perhaps more objective eyes. It feels like you have reached the peak of a mountain. The struggle of getting up there. The pain and sweat. Once you reach it, all you want to do it slide down and feel the adrenaline rush of a fresh, exhilirating experience. Cancer was my mountain. Fighting it became my rush. I didn't stop even though I will shortly pay the price for it...lol...its all good. I did my best.
Music is everything for me. My drug of preference if you will. Whether it is listening to "Enter Sandman", Metallica, for a good rock song, Bette Midler, "In my life" for a good cry but one song became my mojo music which I would play over and over. I remember listening to it in the car the first time the Concordia Design Program rejected me, and it became the fire under my arse to pursue everything I ever wanted. Listen to "What a feeling" Irene Cara. Some of you will get it, some of you will think it is cheesy. I think it's great.
2 more and I am done..."What a feeling".....
