43. On and on and on

STILL being a total pain in the backside, hysterical and ALMOST out of control.  Why the fuck can't I just turn this response off? 

After reading the mag article, I've spent a couple of days trying to calm myself down, with varying degrees of success.  I'm sleeping OK but waking really early, although just, just within normal bounds, so I can just get up for the day if I want to.  I've been irritable, snappy and standoffish.  Which I suppose is better than clingy. 

Then I got the letter from the hospital which I assumed was about my chemo.  The date is a month away.  I'd been blithely assuming that it was starting in a week, given that the Doc had agreed with me when I gave him a date.  Waiting longer, in my mind, increases my chances of the cancer reappearing (or getting bigger if there is another tumour in there).  After a couple of hours of full on mania, bordering on hysteria, I realised it wasn't my chemo appointment but was the follow up they weren't able to book at my last appointment because the receptionist wasn't at her desk.
