The C-Train
Hey you! Conductor! Is the C-train? I didn’t buy a ticket on the C-Train!! I bought a ticket on the A-train. You gotta let me off! Now!
I’ve heard about this train, man. I hear some people never get off once they go into the tunnel . You gotta let me off now … the tunnel’s coming up. Let me off!
Sorry Ma’am …. Once you are on the C-train you gotta go through the tunnel. You can get off at the other end. Yes, it’s true some people don’t get off… but most people do get to the other side. You gotta keep that in mind. I hear it’s real pretty at the other end, too. I’ve heard some folks say it’s even prettier than the view from the A- train… something about getting a different perspective, a different viewpoint.
But I didn’t buy a ticket on this train! I didn’t choose this! I wanna go back to the A train!
Ma’am … no one ever chooses the C-train. You just get “re-directed” . I don’t know how it works, just some folks get re-directed on the C-train, some don’t. Sorry there’s no way off the train…. You gotta just go through the tunnel and be strong!!
Oh Drat!

And now a jaunt on the C-Train. I have commandeered my old travel blog to write about my experience with Breast Cancer. I have been diagnosed with Stage 3 Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma and writing about my experience is strangely therapeutic. The relatively rare (~10%) Lobular cancer is trickier than the much more common (70-80%) ductal cancer. My new favorite saying is: "I *REALLY* like walking on TOP of the planet!" ... especially in my frog's feet!

.......And now a bit about Radiation. The game has changed and I'm not sure I know all the rules...
- 0) Answers to some of the commonly asked questions:
- 1) I will be in daily radiation therapy through @ the end of February. Yes, Daily, well daily means Monday through Friday - every day.
- 2) In general, side effects are fatigue and local burning of the skin. The fatigue is unpredictable and deep. I already sleep a lot.
- 3) Apparently, side effects are cumulative and delayed... meaning the worst of it will occur @ 2 weeks after radiation ends.
- 4) I'm scheduled to return to work @ April 5
