Treatment One

It was easy I guess. I just had to get there, the techs lined me up and left the room. Then I got zapped. It's weird though. I feel weird about it - something that I can't see or feel as treatment.

I was a little disappointed to not see the lady in the scarf when I got there. But in the parking lot there had been a car and I thought 'That's her'. It has a Cheshire Lacrosse sticker and I remembered her saying she was from Cheshire. I guess she has a kid who plays? So another patient who I met yesterday was in the waiting room. She's older, I think she has uterine cancer. She began telling her story but then I got called back for treatment and had to cut her off.

By 9am I was on the way back out of the health center to my car - I parked next to what I thought was her car. I was right. The lady in the scarf was there in the drivers seat. She rolled down her window and I stood there in the rain talking to her for a few minutes. We'd both wanted to see each other again and promised to share emails and info on Monday. She said that it was nice to have someone in there to talk with. I agree.

Hi Jenn! I got a text from Chris asking for your cell # and it sparked my memory that I have not been on your blog in awhile :( Well, 2 hours later (I just love your witty writing!), I think I've caught up! I am so glad to hear that it sounds like you are doing great and you are on your way to complete recovery. I think you know that Chris is doing the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk here...me & ry donated money in your support & in support of my granny and aunt who are also survivors! I gave her the only 860 number that I have for you, I hope she is able to reach you.
I wish you all the best and much love,
Erika Tuttle

hey --

yeah, you, chemo-chic extraodinarie! i like the new moniker; it is so very you.

delighted to read that you reunited with the woman in the floral head scarf.

11/23 is the big day, or the conclusion to the zapping, correct?

please know that there are so very many holding you in loving thoughts - always - and even more so while you are in the countdown mode.

with love and light and always awe,

cherie aka your bodhisattva
