Now that I got that feeling off my chest, on to how I feel physically. Well, simply put, my mouth hurts. That's probably the worst part this week. Everybody kept warning me about the mouth sores that chemo causes. I thought I was lucky because I have yet to get any sores. But this week, my mouth feels like it has sores all over, especially the sides of my tongue. I keep looking in the mirror and there is nothing there. But it is raw and it hurts and it makes me talk funny. It is super uncomfortable and it makes it hard to eat. I am really not too happy about this new special side effect. Ugh! Oh well, this too shall pass.
I am really starting to notice that as a general rule, people in this world are grumpy and negative. For example, I was backing out of a parking spot today and a lady trying to drive around me threw her hands up at me really pissed off. I started laughing and said to my friend "I will take my wig off and start throwing some elbows if I have to!" lol But in all seriousness... what are people so mad about? Do people really not have 2.5 seconds to stop and be courteous anymore? I am not understanding how I can have cancer and be a generally happier person than most of the people I encounter in the world. Get it together people! Life is good! Smile sometimes. You might enjoy it.
By the way, I am going to be going to the Martini Party that the Canyon Lake Bosom Buddies are putting on. If you want to come with, or see more info, go to http://clbosombuddies.com/ I am going to be telling my story in order to help bring awareness to breast cancer in young people.
