I’m not one to procrastinate, I like to get things done – but here is one break I feel I really need.
After much consideration and consulting the main players in my care team – I’ve just asked for a fortnight delay to the start of my radiotherapy, to be met with a ‘yes’!!I know, I know – all the Doctors are saying it’d be best to ‘just keep going’ now I’m on the roller coaster…….
There are so many people involved, but to put it bluntly – I’m just another patient to slot into busy schedules. It’s my body that has to back-up and do this and I’m just not ready.There’s no concrete reason to rush this (obviously if there was a strong argument I’d listen and consider), two weeks won’t make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things – but to me, right now?!Ultimately – it’s my call and I’ve made it. A little win and I feel like I have regained a tiny bit of control. Just making the decision, which I believe is in my best interests – has been remarkably empowering.
My body needs a rest and I need to catch my breath.I’m so relieved.
(Yep, my face – including lips and eyes are swollen and sore..mouth is full of ulcers which makes it painful to smile. Still – I’m happy enough to give a thumbs up!!!)
