A Recipe of Numbers
A year on from diagnosis…365 days
3 scans
1 tumour
1 drugs trial
2 operations
14 nodes removed
1 bald head
6 scarves
6 rounds of Chemo
42 Immune System Injections
2 spells of Sepsis
3 Chest X-Rays
8 fingernails lost
6 toenails gone
2 collapsed veins
20 sessions of Radiotherapy
5-year course of tablets
0 alcohol
(the half glass of lager that made me sick doesn’t count…)
20 new found friends going through the same thing
Too many Antibiotics, Steroids, and Anti-Sickness drugs
Tons of tears
With a scattering of laughs
