Treasuring the little things

Having a continuous-flow fluorouracil pump seriously restricts your abilities and you learn to treasure the little things. Like taking a shower. At least M hospital's protocol is to disconnect the pump on Fridays and reconnect on Mondays, giving almost 3 days of unobstructed enjoyment. At the B hospital where I was treated before they took the words "continuous flow" seriously, replacing the battery/chemo bag every week but never ever disconnecting. For over a month I had to stick to baths.

  1. I don't know, is my compassion important for you or not, but I wish you to win this battle. I follow it and it is somehow important for me that you can write and be brave despite of how it feels. I had only a glimpse of it and I know how frightening it can be, but please write anyway.
