My chemo

[cyclonefence]

5. Thank you

You have articulated what I am blubbering through right now. I think my distress is mainly having to have this extra burden--on top of everything else, I'm supposed to be an educated consumer?

I will definitely be having the treatment. As I said, we do have the money, but now my husband is making noises about calling around for a better price! He should work for Consumer Reports! And he is feeling terrible because he keeps saying that it sounds like he is weighing how much my life is worth, which he isn't.

Burdens, burdens, burdens. My severely disabled daughter lived with us until she was 27 years old, and our life was totally dictated by her needs--no vacations, no entertainment of friends, the whole shebang. She is now living happily with 24-hour attendants, and we have been enjoying our freedom like lifers suddenly having our sentences overturned. Hubris, I guess.

Anyway, thanks for the supportive words.
