The Future

Talking to my oncologist this morning, he told me that when I come back next year (my usual January appointment), I should think of whether I want to change to coming in once a year instead of every six months.  (I'm sure he forgot that we discussed this in July.)  He said there was no rush to come to a decision as we had a year to think about it.

HA!!!

It hit me while I was walking down the four flights of stairs.  I am discussing the future and making plans for a year for now.  That is a huge accomplishment as there was a time when I couldn't think more than three weeks (the chemotherapy appointment) in advance.  Both of us were making plans for me 12 months from now.  I don't think that the oncologist knew how he lifted my mood just by telling me I had a year to make a decision.  Such a small thing he did that had a huge effect.
:-D
