not really over




I slept straight through the weekend and woke this morning to shooting pain in my breast. Squeezing it tightly is the only thing that relieves it, but I went to work today and opportunities to do that were limited. So I'm still feeling sick from the treatment of something that didn't make me sick.

This NYT article on the difficulty of managing cancer care caught my eye right away. I can't imagine juggling appointments and bills and making decision while actually being sick. I was barely healthy enough to handle the relatively straightforward care for DCIS.
