Writing in my journal while taking chemo this morning gave me a chance to reflect on all the emotions Ive encountered on this cancer journey. There are numerous emotions one experiences in any crisis; and I think Ive experienced almost every one there is. The ones that took precedence in the beginning were fear, panic, sadness, and worry. Now, the ones that are prevalent are gratefulness, hope, and joy. Im grateful the chemo went well and quickly today and its achieving grand results. Im filled with hope each time my doctor says he is well pleased with my progress and each time I hear the success stories of people I meet at the Cancer Center and elsewhere. And there is such joy in so many things and in so many ways each day, like hugs from a grandchild, an unexpected gesture of kindness, waking up each morning, waking up pain-free, watching the miracles of our God-created nature, having my husband go with me to chemo treatments, keeping a journal, praying, and facebooking with such good people.
