6. How's it going so far?

Aug 2016

I went about my treatment with, I dunno, just open to whatever comes and the determination to get through it.

I was terrified for my first chemo treatment and numb for my first radiation treatment. Too scared to really absorb anything extra by then.

I had to drive 90 miles for treatment to one doctor and over 200 for the other. I did a lot of the driving myself because it was something I could control. There were days when I didn't want to drive though.
