Terrible and Wonderful: A Year Passes

August 31, 2012June 5, 2013 / eddiesandcurrents / 8 Comments

What can happen in one year?  Well, as someone who has gone through breast cancer treatments, I can tell you that a lot can happen in one year. You can endure and survive one of the most difficult times of your life.  You can even thrive and flourish. It was a year ago on a Wednesday … Continue reading Terrible and Wonderful: A Year Passes

A week of well, body & spirit

August 24, 2012August 24, 2012 / eddiesandcurrents / 1 Comment

Wellness has been a focus for me this week.  I'm coming up on the one-year date of my breast cancer diagnosis, so that might be why I'm thinking more about my health.  Plus, the weekly Sustainable Wellness group has me pointed toward that, too. As a part of my wellness "plan," I decided to have … Continue reading A week of well, body & spirit

The Return of the Trickster

August 19, 2012August 19, 2012 / eddiesandcurrents / 2 Comments

It was quite the morning, with the Trickster making a prominent appearance.  I'm going to try to give you a somewhat shortened version of the events.  The one without all the details of my panic. Something made me wake up at five.  As I walked down the hall, I heard slow dripping.  I knew the … Continue reading The Return of the Trickster

A Profound Experience: The veil is thin

August 17, 2012August 17, 2012 / eddiesandcurrents / 11 Comments

There are so many threads in this particular tapestry piece that I'm not sure where to begin.  I guess I'll pick the ones that stand out the most. I'll start with where I went today.  For another medical procedure, a presurgery before a colonoscopy.  Scheduling this procedure hasn't been easy.  Finding room in my calendar, … Continue reading A Profound Experience: The veil is thin

Terrible and Wonderful: Chapter 4

August 12, 2012September 11, 2012 / eddiesandcurrents / 2 Comments

So when will I be "back"?  Able to have a full week of meetings and activities and not be worn out?  I'm certainly grateful for the returning energy, but my last chemo was on Groundhog Day, and my last radiation was at the end of April.  It's August.  That seems a long time to wait … Continue reading Terrible and Wonderful: Chapter 4

Terrible and Wonderful: Chapter 3

August 5, 2012August 8, 2012 / eddiesandcurrents / 4 Comments

One thing I really missed during my cancer treatments was my daily rituals.  Until I went through chemo, I didn't realize how important those rituals were to me.  How they gave my days structure, stability, comfort, the illusion of control.  And how I'd miss them when chemo grabbed me and wouldn't let go. A morning … Continue reading Terrible and Wonderful: Chapter 3

Terrible and Wonderful: Chapter 2

August 3, 2012August 3, 2012 / eddiesandcurrents / 4 Comments

"Who am I?" is a question we all consider, especially at the crisis times of our lives.  It's certainly one that comes up a lot when you've been diagnosed with cancer and are undergoing treatments.  We have been considering that question in our Sustainable Wellness group offered by Cancer Navigators in Rome, Georgia.  I'm revisiting … Continue reading Terrible and Wonderful: Chapter 2
