10 things chemo taught me
by Justine Anderson, Guest Contributor
An intimate and touching revelation by someone who lived through it and has the scars to prove it.
10. It was almost worth it to be hairless!
9. The Lord gave me a baby 2 months before cancer because I needed to "have" to get out of bed.
8. Yes, I can move slower!
7. "Bladder irritation" does not mean what you think it means. Ask more questions!
6. I was glad my dad wasn't here to see it; it would have broken his heart.
5. When you are dying, your body will tell you. Fighting that voice is half the battle!
4. We spend a lot of time and $$$ on hair!
3. Pay it ahead! Someday you, too, will need help!
2. A person can live off of Greek yogurt for 4 months. It ain't good, but you can.
And the most important thing I learned:
1. I married the right man! A marriage is a tricky thing. You never know it is working until it does. Choose wisely and be kind!
