You Get What You Get, and You Don’t Throw a Fit!
The saying in the picture is what I often tell myself — don’t worry until you have to. It reminds me of a saying my kids and I use to say as they were growing up — you get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit. They used to laugh every time I’d say it, they’d say it back to me, and we’d all laugh. It was a funny sing-song for the kids, but it is true. In life, you get what you get, and it’s best if you don’t throw a fit. I am going into this upcoming scan with that attitude back. I am not going to worry about my upcoming scan or results until I have to. And whatever the results, I will not throw a fit and just deal with it. I’m feeling much better than the last couple of times I wrote. I don’t know what was going on with me. Just pretty emotional! I am having some physical pain in my upper left back, and it wraps around to my chest, and it hurts to breathe deeply, so I’m wondering if I fractured something again, and I can’t help it, my mind worries about recurrence. I didn’t realize that I actually like scans every few months as an assurance that everything is OK. If the pain doesn’t go away in a few days, I’ll make an appt. with my primary care doctor. Other than that, everything is good.
Someone just rang the bell. Several times. The tears welled up. It’s something I’ll never be able to do again. But I am just happy that this treatment is life saving for me. I’m thankful for how much time it has given me. I am thankful for this chemo and immunotherapy. I’ve decided to just pray for the person who rings the bell, pray that their cancer never returns, and it makes me feel better.
My aunt sent me a link to some YouTube videos that show the Mombies dancing for Cancer fundraising and awareness in a town in Connecticut. So fun! Makes me want to live in that town and join! I can totally see my friends doing this too! What a great idea and fun to watch! Look them up — perfect timing with Halloween coming up!
Well, will keep this short as I will probably be writing a lot in the next couple of chemo sessions since I have a scan coming up next month. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
