Chemo's a bitch

it sucks hours from the day
and sleep from the night
shoving waves of nausea down my throat
until I overflow.
And yet I submit
because it may be
that the only way out
is on the back of this beast.

I am sure it hasn't taken that twinkle out of your eyes or the kindness in your soul. You keep up this fight with the seven year Bitch of yours cause I know you are going to kick its ass some how some way. Just wish it was easier on you. Rox

It IS my prayer that you continue to 'ride the beast' out of this deep valley.....I love the sound of that. I check your blog often in hopes that a lil of your joi de vie rubs off on me. =) You are in my prayers.

I remember our grandmother(Nana) telling me how many times things that are good for us take a long time or hurt. (Think she was trying to sell me on letting her do a home permanent) But, unfortunately this applies to Chemo as well. I'm so sorry "Chemo's a Bitch" and I desperately wish I could make it easier for you. Please know that I think about you every day, wishing the hurt to be better. I love you, Jan
