The 12 Days of Chemo

Things have been quiet of late, but that is only due to the recurring cycle of chemotherapy and rush of the holiday season. Now, not that we aren't taking this seriously, but I thought I might as well share the unusual joys of the season with the family and friends I love - and yes, that's me under the tree!

Sung to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas:

On the first day of Chemo my doctor gave to me:

A drain clogged with falling out hair.

On the second day of Chemo my doctor gave to me:

Anti-nausea pills,

And a drain clogged with falling out hair.

On the third day of...OK, OK, you get the idea, let's cut to the chase and sing with gusto...

On the twelfth day of Chemo my doctor gave to me:
Memory confusion,
3 days of hiccups,
8 hours of I.V.'s,
Skin itching wildly,
Nose running madly,
Breath short and shallow,
Vision soft and fuzzy,

FREE SEATS ON BART!!

Always feeling cold,
No eyebrows,
Anti-nausea pills,
And a drain clogged with falling out hair!
