Last Friday, I had my 11th Taxol treatment. It went smoothly, no issues with bloodwork or anything else. Just one more to go. I have been so grateful for the staff at the infusion center. They are all very helpful and nice, and it makes what could be a very tedious weekly event into a relatively pleasant outing.
The past couple of weekends have actually been quite busy. Last weekend, Ben and I drove to St. Louis to attend SLICE (St. Louis Independent Comics Expo). It was a wonderful show. Lots of comics and art and camaraderie. This weekend, we went to the last Third Friday Artwalk of the year in KCK. There's so much beauty and community and food and art, and a local artist had made a mandela of positive intention and hope for Palestine. It was beautiful and I was overwhelmed by emotion seeing how many people had made signs in support of Palestine.
My cancer feels very small and very manageable in the face of the larger world. But even with that, I am tired. I am looking forward to being done with chemo, and then I will need to prepare for surgery. I am feeling ready.
