With a incurable and terminal cancer, I dont know if there exists a turning point for things to REALLY get better - it would seem highly unlikely, or maybe impossible...and yet, despite the pain, persistent infection and increased chemotherapy side-effects, I cant help but feeling that...well, that SOMETHINGs changed in the past week or so...I feel more engaged, more active and more...alive... (and please believe me when I say that there were plenty of moments when I thought I couldnt fight anymore, particularly in the hospital) than I have at anytime after my diagnosis. Im crafting a defense for my pro-bono client; Im helping Tony about the house; Im spending more time at my residence in Philadelphia and thinking that I can soon approach my Oncologists and ask them if I can start cutting down on my convalescence time and get back soon to living in my Washington Square West residence; I solved an rather large issue for a nephew recently (a nephew who I love with all my heart); Ive helped mentees all week with issues from applying to law school to relationship issues to school disciplinary issues to academic and professional meltdowns. And I FEEL GREAT! Time to get a little sleep...
