Seven months

It feels like yesterday but then again so distant. Gathering my thoughts, pieces and strength to move forward.

I’m halfway through radiotherapy which so far seems to be the easiest part of the ride. Thankfully I feel more calm, my brain started working again and my mood is so much better.

All this time gave me the opportunity to reflect on a lot of things. Life, health, looks, relationships… How you can lose any of the above in seconds, what it takes to stand up and start over, how the most important relationship of them all is the one with yourself. Because when you look at yourself in the mirror, during and after chemo, hairless, swollen and vulnerable, that’s the only one you have to convince that life is worth fighting for. Not for the hair and the looks but for the people around you, what you have learned and what’s about to happen!

So on this day I happened to stop by work, met beloved people and started discussing about the future. The near future! Hopefully, back to work soon. But first a much needed vacation!
