Just a quick note to say that I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. Even if the situation (south of the navel) is not quite perfect, it is improving slowly. Chemo interferes a little in the restoration of optimal intestinal function but I know it's temporary. Speaking of chemo, I received my third treatment post-surgery. I will be disconnected in about an hour.
Dr. L had to hear me cry a little. I confessed that I sometimes fear the return of the cancer. He listened with empathy and comforted me on the fact that fear is normal and it was healthy to express it. Yes, there are those days where I am really scared. On these days I am even afraid to say that the cancer is gone in case it would hear and decides to return. This is silly.
That's the ups and downs of living with cancer. Even if I want to be strong there are days when it's harder. Don't worry though these moments never lasts long.
Dr. L told me when we talked about the surgery and my recovery and chemo treatments: you are strong. This is the first time he told me that. I was flattered. I know many of you tell me the same thing but for me it's like a pat on the back at work, you always want more.
I'm going to see Dr. Y in September. I look forward to that appointment. I look forward to when I can start doing real exercises. I look forward to his "thumbs up".
We went camping in August. A few days in a tent and the following week in an RV (Class C). The tent was hard. It was the week following chemo and it rained a lot. Two conditions that do not help enjoy the experience. The week in RV has been fantastic. A whole new camping experience.

Finally, I leave you by saying that Tristan started school. It is his second day today. Yesterday the bus dropped him home at 17:50. They had left school at 16:45. It seems that the traffic was terrible. We hoped that there will be adjustments to the route. Jordan and Elodie start Monday. Both are very excited.
Good day to all!
