This is my place to relate my experiences with cancer treatment, as well as share resources that may be helpful to fellow oral, head, and neck cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left parotid on June 30, 2006. My goal is to continue enjoying the Nebraska Good Life. I call this blog the "Cheeky Librarian", since the cancer was discovered in my cheek, I am a librarian, and many that know me say I fit the slang use of the word 'cheeky'.

Ever watch "Desk Set"?
If you have seen the ending of Desk Set http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050307/, EMERAC the computer goes haywire and has to be stopped by Spencer Tracy (with help from Katherine Hepburn, whose sister was a great librarian, by the way). As the machine stops, you hear a panting and wheezing sound, then silence. That pretty much describes how my last two weeks have been - just panting and trying to catch my breath from all the changes that occur with treatment. I have taken this healing time seriously, and it has paid off. I think I have caught my breath now (or at least have my second wind!). Changes will continue to come, but maybe not as dramatic as they have over the last month. One can only hope...
That is so great Teresa! You have the best attitude. Keep it up and it is sure to pay off (an obviously already is)! You the woman!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you writing again! I have been wondering where you were.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that movie. It is one of my favorites! Hope you're continuing to feel better and better every day.
