Paranoia
I'm forever on the alert for new side-effects from chemotherapy. It's a little obsessive. Yesterday I was horrified to note a new bruise that spanned the length of my forearm. I've always bruised easily and now, with the chemicals wreaking havoc on my platelets, it's worse than ever. But I really couldn't remember smacking my arm even lightly over the last couple of days. Some time later while reading the newspaper, I idly rubbed the bruise with my forefinger. And it came off. Because it was just dirt. I need to calm down.

...and potentially shower.
That is so true -- every ache and pain I have makes me uneasy...and the other day, I found LOTS of spider veins on my ankles -- were they there before cancer?
Is it from getting filled with saline and toxic soup on a weekly basis? Is it bad shoes and hitting 40? No one really knows for sure..
What I DO know is that my bald mullet is almost long enough to put in a small pigtail...eww
