Day Twenty Two

Today I feel wonderful. Smiled all the way home from work, had Bon Jovi on the car stereo, the sun was shining and I feel brilliant. No pain at all. A friend at work bought me a present, a lovely collection of pampering stuff - I know you are reading this, thank you! It really is odd, people keep saying to me, why are you at work, you should be at home in bed. My response? I'm not ill, I just have cancer! I really don't feel ill. I know I am going to be once the chemo kicks in, but it is a necessary evil so I can get out the other side so bring it on! I am looking forward to starting my treatment. Another friend lent me a copy of Lance Armstrong's book about his fight with cancer. I was reading it last night in bed and already I can relate to a lot of the stuff in there. It was very inspiring and comforting. I had a real giggle at work today, and laughing is something I love doing, don't we all, but I think we need to do it as much as we can. That is why I am still at work, I am among people I love being with who make me laugh. And that makes me feel wonderful!
