LOG DATE TUESDAY, night, 3/12/13

The strangest thing the oncologist asked me was:
“Are you experiencing cancer anxiety?”  
While I was thinking what that could mean he said he hadn’t perceived my cancer anxiety. 

I’m anxious about so many daily things, and yes, cancer is one of them.  And I’m afraid of what I read may be coming down the road.  But, no, we thought, I’m not experiencing what he calls cancer anxiety.  I just don’t focus on the cancer.  I’ve got plenty of other anxieties and stresses. Janet says I sleep like one who has PTSD.

As for progress, the blood work shows that we can continue with Sutent, as long as I can stand the side-effects.  And then in April we will see if it is all worth it, or, rather, if it is worth it at all.

The Sutent is wearning me down, typically, but we don’t have long to go.  We’ve been here before.  So to speak.

I know, there is no repetition, really, and yet Nietzsche wants Eternal Return; and Ram Dass and Ekhart Tolle want us to Be Here Now, and so the world can be confusing, but I’ll save that for another time and place.  In a sense, I still can say, I've been here before.
