Halfway to somewhere

I've completed the 3rd (of 6) chemo treatments so in my mind I am half way there.  My oncologist kindly reminded me this is halfway through phase 1, but in my head the chemo is THE worst so I'm going with half way. Yes, yes, I know my maths, I can actually calculate I started 7 weeks ago and have another 8 weeks until the last session and a few more days of side effects after that, but I'm still going with halfway.

Maybe that's why I feel like it's been a bloody long week. I only worked half days on Monday and Tuesday, so that I could rest up, but even so, the week has crawled at snail's pace. To make it worse, it's rained continuously for the last 24 hours and there's some flash flooding all around our village and my ability to get out and stomp has been limited....or damp!

Anyway, 3 of 6 chemos, whether halfway or not, is a milestone and I am pleased to have made it this far!

  • Half way means half the pain or discomfort has been dealt with. I think when you're in the thick of it...its so hard to ever think you will stop feeling unwell. But hurrrraaah .....what a milestone! ((Clapping hands))
