Off to the Cancer LodgeEntry #640922
Bright and early after the third round of chemo was completed, the doctor released me to the local cancer lodge, Hope, which is just blocks from the hospital. I would spend the next several weeks there until my blood recovered from the most recent chemo infusions.

Hope is a great place and I had a very nice room, but within a week I began to get so home sick that I got very restless. Talking to my loved ones by phone helped a little, but depression moved in fast, especially knowing the real Christmas Day was coming and I'd be missing everyone.

I spent a lot of time (more than I knew) on my cell phone the next few weeks, but nothing really helped for long. Most nights I was in bed by 7 p.m. just so I could sleep and forget about my unhappiness.
