This isn't chit-chat, but it is just something I want to talk about, I hope you understand.. in a way it is fractal related...cancer is fractallike, and I am very fractalrelated too :-).

****************************

Yesterdaymorning the nurse told me I looked like a birdie...
Yes...I know, my body looks fragile and weak...but inside it must be still very strong.
No..., I'm not sure I am very happy with that...

But...I don't want to write about sad things, I think you know them, so...

My cancer-treatment is palliative, it means I can't be cured, but my life can be extended, maybe even for some years.
But there has to be a balance between quality and quantity in life, and quality is more important.
The chemo's are very heavy and there are so many side-effects...
It lookes as if the cancer is at rest at the moment. That is why the docter and I decided to have a break. To have some quality in life again.

Maybe my body will be a bit stronger when Christmas arrives, maybe my taste will be better again: not the taste of chemo.
Oh, I am really looking forwards to that :-)

titia,

Whenever I used to ask my grandad how he was doing, he used to tell me he felt "like a box of birds!". I still have no idea what he meant by that, lol.

I hope you have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year, or vice versa. Best wishes.

I'm glad you emphasize Quality of Life!

You have a healthy outlook and I wish you The Best!

Peace.
