T – 12 and holding. The title really says it all. Yesterday, I was graciously given a pass for chemo session five. That’s the good news. The problem is that I still have to get the last three in. The holiday is not really because of Christmas but that would have been nice. The real reason is low counts across the board. The holiday is so that I can get my counts to rebound and for me to gain some weight back.

If it wasn’t for the taste thing, Christmas brunch and dinner would certainly take care of the weight thing. But this Christmas I will have to deal with looking at food that just two months ago would have irresistible. It is what it is though and I will need to find my way through the food maze. At least I will be surrounded by family and that will be enough to lift my spirits.

Merry Christmas to all of my readers. Please take a second somewhere during this holiday season and say a little prayer for any and all who might be suffering their cancer journey. Believe me, they can feel the energy it sends.
