Today I had my appointment with my oncologist. I really do like Dr. B; he is a great doc. The news has been confirmed that treatment will be chemo and radiation. I did not want to have chemo because of the exhaustion and the possible hair loss; but, I will continue to pray that it will be ok.
My boss called and we had a great conversation. She did confirm that what my emotions have been doing is not my imagination. Yes, I have cancer. No! I am not a leper and I am a human being. Why are people choosing to be distant and apparently non-caring? When someone is diagnosed with a difficult thing, it is all that much more important to have human contact. Will I be able to have human contact? I wonder. Hug me, slap me, poke me, kick me! I need the contact. I am not an alien.
