Dog Days are Over - Florence and the Machine

The aftermath of good news results in a bad chest cold and exhaustion. All the anticipation, stress and repercussions of the PET/CT scan day wore me out. Cancer is an exhausting disease. I am cancer free but the energy it took to get here, holy smoke. it is thrilling to know my scan is cancer free. It also brought on a whole variety of emotions. I never realized how hard I have been working to survive. Instead of a desire to celebrate the good news, I feel like I want to sleep for a month. Finally, I can relax a little. I am not on my way out anytime soon. I can rest. I can rest. I can rest.

So today I am sitting on the couch with my tea, snacks, lozenges and a box of Kleenex watching episodes of A TV series I like. Cheers to veggin out!

thank you again for all the support!
