Slow Blog Week

Sorry, folks, there's really not anything new to report tonight.

Actually, it's going to be like that for a while. And, during that time, I'm going to take a break from blogging. It's becoming an obligation in a way that I don't want it to become. Not that I don't enjoy it and that I don't want to keep you informed, but I don't always have something to say.

I know you want to keep up with what's going on with me, but right now, it's kind of the same thing every day. Until I get through radiation, I probably won't have a lot of news. And, if I do, I promise I'll write about it. That's why I started this blog in the first place.

In the beginning, there were a lot of things going on and I was learning a lot that I wanted to share. But, right now, I get the same treatment every day, five days a week for 2-4 more weeks. I'm not going to experience significant side effects, other than some skin irritation. It has started to present itself, and it basically looks like a slight sunburn (normally, I'd tan within two days) and doesn't feel like anything.

I want to write when something new happens, or when I've learned something, or when changes take place. None of that is going to happen for a few weeks. And, I'm not going to suddenly get sick. My health is not in a place where I'm going to take a sudden turn for the worse. And, even if I were to get suddenly sick, that's the kind of thing I would blog about!

I'm taking a little break from blogging, but that just means that I'm not going to try to post regular posts every single week if I have nothing new to say. When I do have something new to say, I'll post it, whether that's tomorrow or a month from tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be that long, but it might not be as soon as a week from today either.

Please know that, in my absence, I'm doing well. If you were sitting next to me, you would never know that I'm battling cancer unless I told you. Half the time, even I can't believe it. Because if I didn't have that regular appointment for radiation to remind me, I wouldn't know I had cancer either.

Remember, in this case, no news really is good news.
