Getting nervous, I admit it..

11/24/2010

As much as I have been seeking treatment and know this is my only choice, I'm still nervous.  JUST starting to get nervous.  Lots of unknows still really.
I'm guaranteed  through others testimonies that I will resume life immediately the same way.  Ottawa Hospital also told me that my neck will swell, that the skin will burn and that I won't be able to talk.  Hummmm.... Guess I don't need any of that to groom. 
Then I just read how one persons tumour swelled 33% larger before it shrunk.  I can't say I didn't read about this stuff before.  I can't say I didn't know this is a possiblility along with the lady who had a stroke from her's swelling. lol  Just that as the days are ticking closer, the realities become more ...well.. reality.
One real good thing tho, I quickly throw all this aside and look at the fact I can get right back to work and enjoy my regular activities right away!  :p
I just mention my feelings here because I know there are many who like me, face these issues and all our feelings and fears are there, we just hide them, then move on :)
I'm having "Fun Time Friday" this weekend!  It's a "Pre-Toastie Party" celebrating my last party night before I get toasted up at the Ottawa Radiation Department. :) 
Oshawa bound this fri, I'm sure I'll share THAT story(ies) with you  lololol
