What am I thinking?

So what am I thinking? Lee, in a comment, reminded me “don't forget to tell us about the thoughts you are having as well as how you feel.”

The truth is that right now, most of my focus and energy goes toward what I am doing and feeling physically, especially when I am immediately post-chemo, as I am right now. I’m mostly aware of being tired and achy, like having the flu (a lot) and a bit queasy (at times). I am frustrated with the flu-like symptoms, and resentful that I have to take naps. Nevertheless, if I need a nap, I take one – it is not like my body gives me much of a choice anyway.

Lee also asked: “So, are you seeing any different paths and byways on this second journey through chemo than you did on the first trip through?”

So far, yes, I have – but I am too tired to write about them this time. Perhaps in a few days.
