往事不堪

星期一我完成了最后一次的放射性治疗。

我应该是感到如释重放吧。虽然,开心地向治疗师道别,但我心里有奇怪的感觉。我算走过来了吗?我在forum 上看到这一段:

"And now, having endured surgeries and side effects and weekly monitoring, I can, with my last regular treatment mere weeks away, begin preparing for the rest of my life. Yet when my friends ask what we’re doing to celebrate, when they high-five me and ask, hopefully, “So now it’s over, right?” I don’t know what to tell them. I don’t know how to explain why I don’t feel yet like partying.

That’s why it’s bittersweet to move on to the next part. “I think there’s a huge rush of the tide to get you back as though nothing happened. To reassemble the picture that you had before,” says Anne. “People think that must be what you want, you must want to forget this. The big mistake is that it’s forgettable. Or that there’s an end to it. There’s no end to it.” And as Martha says, “The doctors will say, ‘Oh, you’re good. Go enjoy your life.’ But you don’t stop having had cancer once treatment is over."

情何以堪。复原,谈何容易。
可以假装什么都没发生过,照常生活?

这一天治疗师还我我的mask,用来固定的。他们说有些人觉得bundang不会带回家,不过我是能带走的。我想带回来给大家看,再丢掉。整个放射性治疗要6千多呢。



很像艺术品hor。

生日惊喜

我的生日鲜少给人整或搞什么惊喜。或许,我本来就不是这种人。今天的生日平平淡淡,是我向往的。一整天都在家里,除了早上到医院做放射性治疗。

我的放射性治疗团队有5个人。他们都很心切,每天早上我是他们的第一个病人。之前的8个疗程,我们话不多,只是闲聊几句。

今天一如往常。有时,如果他们替我额外照X光片,我就得额外在外头的柜台付费。今天,治疗的时间不像是有X光,可是当我从仪器上下来时,他们递了付费的单据。我没有什么怀疑,就去换衣服。当我要走出去时,他们叫住了我。

我以为我忘了什么,可他们却笑嘻嘻地叫我拆开单据。

我就知道有鬼!我边“oh no, omg, you guys knew it”,笨拙得拆开信封。我们笑了一会儿,我也很感动地向他们道谢。可惜下个病人已经进来,我也不能多留。

我们相识8天,却对我如此关心。
谢谢你们。
