Sickness - A word that's usually meant to refer to somebody who's ill can also be applied to the rotten feeling you get at the center of your being when you come to know things that weren't on your "happy life" agenda.
A person who has lived her whole life independently can find it so humiliating and belittling to be dependent on others for things. Not even being able to convey your thoughts properly - not finding words for things you know you know. Being sick day in and day out and eating dozens of pills everyday. These are just some of the things a person with brain tumor may have to deal with. Add to that hair loss, constipation, depression and ecstatic episodes and you have your plate full.
It's not easy for the patient. Its not at all easy for the family too. Dealing with a life that's not the same as it has been for so many years is not the most smooth transition.
Brain tumor brings in several of its symptoms - things you have medicines for .. things that are best left untreated.
It's not nice. And it is really painful. Btw, it's my marriage anniversary today... and I don't feel too happy about it.. probably bcoz my hubby won't be around today. I guess I will try to spice up the romance with some lovey dovey messages. Let me take advantage of his being away. :) More on this later....
