Today, I completed the 7th from 12 chemos. I started at 9:30AM and finished by approx. 2:00PM. Yup, the duration was more than 5 hours without interruption.
While getting the chemo, I met a young girl that also got Hodgkin. Her name was Altagracia. We have a somehow… curious small conversation:
— Altagracia: how many years do you have attending the hospital?
— Me: (years!?) I only have 3 months. And you?
— Altagracia: I got Hodgkin 3 years ago… I was in remission until 2 months ago (which means she got Hodgkin twice)
— Me: 😳…
— Altagracia: I'm guilty here, I didn't care of myself. I haven't eat healthy during the remission period. Also, I didn't sleep well, I was going to bed late at night regularly…
Indeed, the lesson was learned: pay attention to your body, do not let anything, anyone, to push you in a way that doesn't respect your body, your file.
That reminds me that as someone who has a personal relationship with Jehovah God, the source of life, that if I really care about my spiritual relationship I have to honor Him by protecting my body, which is part of my life.
