Dumb Cancer

It is probably a good sign that I am not yet really sick from the cancer.  I do however have a few symptoms.  One of them is very dry lips and some swelling above them.  Sort of a botox look...or..more like pancreatic cancer look,  uuuugggghhhh!  I think I have some swelling and inflammation in the chest but it seems to come and go.  I have some nausea from time to time as well.  Other than that I am able to carry on with my life until chemo starts.  I did have to take a leave of absence this week from my work place of 20+ years.  That was hard.  Dumb cancer.
