Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish

I see it has been a month since I've updated this blog. Considering this is a blog about cancer, I guess that's a good thing. Other than occasionally feeling tired I have had no more side effects or symptoms of any new cancer. It has been nice not having to go to the doctor, I must say. So, no more doctor appointment stress headaches, haha.

I decided yesterday to toss out The Mask. I've had it stored in a large black garbage bag ever since returning from the lake vacation, not really knowing what I was going to do with it and feeling ambivalent about tossing it. But then I looked at it yesterday and knew that it was bound for the garbage because I have no use for it whatsoever and I don't believe in keeping things just because they were important at one time or another. Honestly, what was I ever going to do with that ghastly device again anyway? It certainly had no relevance for anyone other than myself, and it pretty much was only a reminder of going through the daily grind of going through those radiation treatments and having a fried neck. So, it has been let go... good-bye to a contraption I only wish nobody else would ever have to experience, and may I never have the need for another one.

Hmm, maybe I should have run it over with the car first...

  1. Run it over with the car. Maybe used it for target practice and I think a ritual burning would have been in order too! I am so glad you are doing so well! Love you!!
