Re: Hello, goodbye (update@post 68)
Hello again folks.
I'm in North Bay now with friends and it is so nice. I feel so blessed that I was able to live the life I did, and have the money to not worry about anything and be able to go and do what I want.
That said, the pain has got a lot worse over the past week and I am now having to either take strong medication which makes me too tired to go out, or go out and put up with the severe pain.
It does come and go, and I live for the times when it isn't there! Sometimes I even feel "normal" for a while, and those are so precious.
I know I am dying and have come to accept that, but what really upsets me is being with people I love/in places I love and knowing it is probably the last time I will ever see them.
When we get back to Texas I'll see my doctor, but I already know what he'll say... My body is getting worse by the day, and my mind is close behind it. I will hold on as long as possible, but I won't allow myself to become a vegetable. I won't be ruled by this disease.
Put it this way, I'll be taking control before it gets to the "final stage". I can't say when (because I don't know), or how, but I won't die from Cancer.
God bless,
Susan. xx
