Hi Shadow

I'm glad you will have the first treatment "under your belt".
The waiting, anticipation and "not knowing" were the worst
parts for me. I was relieved to get my first treatment, for
lots of reasons. I wanted to start the fight and I wanted to
prove to myself that I could do it. I breezed through it, laughing
at myself for having been so scared.

I'm sure you will feel both relieved and proud of yourself
when that first one is over with. I'm happy for you.
