“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” – Kurt Vonnegut
Around this time on Friday, we knew a lot more than we did on Thursday pertaining to her treatment. This week, we have not one, not two, but three doctor’s appointments and procedures. The appointments bookend the beginning and end of the week; but Wednesday is continually proving to be the most concerning of all, even in the face of a 7-week treatment schedule.
The procedure on Wednesday is for the installation of a “port” for administering her chemotherapy medications on a weekly basis. Her oncology team has been more than accommodating of me, my daughter; and all of the questions we have asked about what’s to come during this round of treatment. We also have a procedure scheduled for Friday, for her to have a feeding tube installed; in the case we need it.
On Friday, I wrote in the aftermath of a series of events that not only led my granddaughter Kaylee to have to walk to school in the rain; but as a direct result of that, it left me with some very bad emotions and was depressed for a lot of that day. I can only hope that I have some form of guidance; whether it be otherworldly or not that will help me see this through, regardless of what happens.
On a similar note regarding cancer, I remembered there was a YouTube video of known game critic and social media person Greg Miller; and it showed the process he went through during his treatments and his five year story. I’m gonna link that below. (The video may have some NSFW language; so please exercise caution while viewing … or not. I’m not your dad!)
