Hopefully today I'll meet my HALFWAY POINT of chemo treatments. (It was supposed to be last Friday, but instead I had the worst day of my life, because why not?) It's exciting and terrifying. Terrifying because it's been a real life struggle and the second half is going to get worse. I read my first "What is cancer like?" post and realized that it's changed a little since then, so I made another list for you!
Here's more cancer according to Tina:
1. Cancer is finding a balance between being too hot with a hat and too cold without a hat.
2. Cancer is realizing you won't have long, beautiful hair for years.
3. Cancer is not high-fiving people because they have germs.
4. Cancer is lifting the pickle jar out of the fridge with shaking arms and almost dropping it.
5. Cancer is smiling and saying "I'm feeling good!" to everyone you've ever met.
6. Cancer is staring at the ceiling at 3 am. Every night.
7. Cancer is being nauseous whenever you think about chemo.
8. Cancer is looking at vacation destinations on the internet and promising yourself you'll see them in person.
9. Cancer is thinking twice about everything because what if I meet God sooner than I thought?
10. Cancer is not being able to make death jokes without traumatizing people.
11. Cancer is eating the same food over and over again.
12. Cancer is scheduling days when you know you'll be sick.
13. Cancer is having your face on posters all around your school.
14. Cancer is realizing that every little moment is precious and beautiful.
15. Cancer is laughing at things that honestly shouldn't be funny.
16. Cancer is choosing what is really important and focusing on what matters most.
