In the last few days, I have felt good.  I feel like I'm regaining my strength and energy.  It's nothing like my pre-surgery energy, but it's better than it was just a week ago. 
My chemotherapy is to begin in 2 weeks and I must say that I am not looking forward to it - let alone 4 months of it.  I'm concerned about the damage that the chemicals will do to my healthy cells/tissues, but I really don't have a choice in the matter.  Well, I do have a choice, but the alternative of doing nothing, reduces my risk of survival.  Thank goodness for acupuncture which will help with the side effects of chemo.  Before chemo begins, a port will be inserted in my chest - just under the skin. 
I'm going to the cabin this Friday with a girlfriend.  I'll probably stay for 5-6 nights. I thought it would be good to getaway.  I'll  use this time to begin healing.  I understand that in addition to my physical healing, I need to explore the emotional and spiritual healing that underlies the surface.
