Today's The Day...

I start chemo. Starting tonight and every night for a year to 15 months (depending on how well I handle the side effects), I take two types of chemo. I'm dreading it, and I call it taking "poison" because one's supposed to make me throw up a lot, the other's supposed to make me tired all the time. I called it taking "poison," up until yesterday, when someone called me on my stuff and said "poison" was a poor and negative choice of words. He said a better word was "cure". Fine.

The effects of the "cure" is cumulative, the more "cure" I put in me, the more of the side effects I feel. All I know is that it all makes me sad.
