Cycle 3 of 6 Chemo treatments happened yesterday morning, although, at a reduced dose.
I don’t know but I’m guessing I won’t feel like making words for awhile.
I don’t feel like making words now.
I don’t know if it’s silly and futile to try to maintain a blog while going through cancer treatment but for the moment I’m trying to persist.
On Tuesday I was in the hospital for pre-chemo blood work.
I’ve recently discovered the poet, Alice Oswald.
While I was waiting I read her poem:
DUNT: A POEM FOR A DRIED-UP RIVER
I like this first verse:
Very small and damaged and quite dry,
a Roman water nymph made of bone
tries to summon a river out of limestone
I like the idea of summoning rivers.

It’s not easy to go through. Hang in there.
Thank you. My new mantra is “persistence” 🙂
