I have to say that this isn't such a bad round of chemo. Yesterday I felt well enough to go to the store and make a good, hearty pasta dinner. This morning, although tired, I went for a 45 minute walk to a relaxation group. When we went around the circle putting in images I told the group that I had just received the bad news of having to do more chemo, they awed and looked on compassionately. I told them that my dad had called me a warrior and I'd like to imagine riding large, strong white horse and holding a magnificent glowing silver sward, moving full force to face the next battle. My image was greatly appreciated and as we began the meditation my image was used to enter the state of relaxation and healing. I was so relaxed by the end of the session I was not looking forward to the walk home. But I tuned on my iPod, pulled out the apple I had brought, enjoyed my slow walk home in the sun.
