Full Circle...

10 years ago today I completed my first course of cancer treatment.  I was so excited that my hair was starting to grow back and anticipating what radiation would be like. Now, 10 years later I am anticipating yet another course of treatment. I have never been off treatment since original diagnosis...but tomorrow I will be starting a new treatment (to me) that causes hair loss. I have a 50% chance of losing my hair, and I don't know how to prepare for that...so I am not.  How Ironic that 10 years ago was really still just the beginning of my cancer journey.  And tomorrow the circle will continue.  I hope my new drug Halaven is easy to tolerate.  It definitely gets mixed reviews.

Now I can't get this darn song out of my head!

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
