Another Surgery!

It is almost becoming routine. The testing, the consultation with my doctor, the recommendation of a new means to contain those demon cells.This time the team is going to make another attempt to tackle the pesky tumor that sits at the base of the skull.Radiation and chemo, both, contained it but it still present a problem because of the location.

I no longer cry as I have found, that for me, tears serve no purpose. However, there is stress made known by the spike in the BP and there are bouts of depression. I continue to wonder if I am being punished for some past life experience as I have racked my brain and in this life, while I have made mistakes, I don't think I deserve a lingering punishment such as this has been. If it is a test, then surely I have passed the test by now.

With A Little Help From Friends

"Romance Is a Supplement"

Dan Yi was a successful copywriter and left to become full time wife and now suddenly finds herself  divorced,unemployed and overqualified for every job she applies to. In desperation, she hides her educational background, pretending to be a high-school dropout and finds a job in a publishing company where her childhood friend works. Romance Is a Supplement is highly anticipated for its stars: Lee Jong Suk's last project before his mandatory military enlistment, as well as Lee Na Young's first drama after nine years.  Lee Na Young has been on a lengthy hiatus since her marriage to actor Won Bin in 2015, as well as giving birth to her first son in 2017.

Korean writer, directors, and actors all know how to do the Romcom quite well. And this one does not disappoint.  Some teary moments when you want to shake a character but also a lot of humor and a bit of subtle romance and interesting side characters as well. This one gets an 8/10 from me.

'Memories Of The Alhambra'

NetFlix jumped onto the KDrama wagon with adding a variety of Asian dramas to their listing (they would do well to add many more, in fact an entire Asian film division would be great) and also doing some originals as well. The first that I watched was Memories of Alhambra with my bias Hyun Bin and with Park Shin Hye and ChanYeol of Exo.

I thoroughly enjoyed this as it blended my love of the KDrama with my love of SCi Fi and the results were a program that kept me entertained. Without doing any spoiler I would say that it deserves a season two!

Synopsis:

The CEO of an investment company (Hyun Bin) puts his money on an AR game that's so revolutionary it will change the gaming world. However there is a bug in the system that leads to the CEO trying to solve the problem by becoming a player in the game. Added is the mystery behind the missing young developer, ChanYeaol who was to meet him at the Alhambra hostel which is owned by his family and run by his sister, Park Shin Hye.

For the script, NetFlix got Song Jae Jung, the writer for Nine, starring Lee Jin Wook and Jo Soon Hee, and W, starring Lee Jong Sook and Han Hyo Joo—two sci-fi thrillers that will also mess with your mind.

The plot hooked me right away and kept me invested in the program. The special affect are outstanding as well. I would give it a 9/10 rating and that is only because the attempt at adding a romance to the story was a bit weak.

Broken & Beautiful

I never held my hand out and asked for something free

I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me

I don't need your help, and I don't need sympathy

I don't need you to lower the bar for me



I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong

I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal and I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be



Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Can someone just know me?

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful



I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful



We're walking on the ocean, turning water into wine

We bury our emotion and pretend that we're just fine

The only way to live now is to know you're gonna fly

Don't listen to the lying liars and their lies



I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong

I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal, I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be



Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Can someone just know me?

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful



Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful (oh)



I'm tired (oh)

Can I just be tired? (just be tired)

Without piling on all sad and scared and out of time (oh)

I'm wild (wild)

Can I just be wild? (just be wild)

Without feeling like I'm failing and I'm losing my mind



Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Oh, someone just know me

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful



I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm

I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)

It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, yeah, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)

It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful

"ARE THERE NOT STILL FIREFLIES" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Are there not still fireflies
Are there not still four-leaf clovers
Is not our land still beautiful
Our fields not full of armed enemies
Our cities never bombed to oblivion
Never occupied by iron armies
speaking iron tongues
Are not our warriors still valiant
ready to defend us
Are not our senators still wearing fine togas
Are we not still a great people
Is this not still a free country
Are not our fields still ours
our gardens still full of flowers
our ships with full cargoes

Why then do some still fear
the barbarians are coming
coming coming
in their huddled masses
(What is that sound that fills the ear
drumming drumming?)

Is not Rome still Rome
Is not Los Angeles still Los Angeles
Are these really the last days of the Roman Empire

Is not beauty still beauty
And truth still truth
Are there not still poets
Are there not still lovers
Are there not still mothers
sisters and brothers
Is there not still a full moon
once a month

Are there not still fireflies
Are there not still stars at night
Can we not still see them
in bowl of night
signalling to us
our so-called manifest destinies?

"PITY THE NATION" (After Khalil Gibran) by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
   And whose shepherds mislead them
 Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
            Whose sages are silenced
  And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
 Pity the nation that raises not its voice
          Except  to praise conquerors
       And acclaim the bully as hero
          And aims to rule the world
              By force and by torture
          Pity the nation that knows
        No other language but its own
      And no other culture but its own
 Pity the nation whose breath is money
 And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed
      Pity the nation oh pity the people
        who allow their rights to  erode
   and their freedoms to be washed away
               My country, tears of thee
                   Sweet land of liberty!

Goodbye My Princess

I recently began watching a Chinese drama called Goodbye My Princess (Chinese: 东宫; pinyin: Dōng Gōng). It is based on the novel Eastern Palace by Fei Wo Si Cun; starring Chen Xingxu, Peng Xiaoran and Shawn Wei. It aired starting February 14, 2019 and ran until March 25,2019. It tells a story of a princess from a foreign land who has to marry the crown prince for political reasons.Peng Xiaoran plays Xiaofeng, the beloved ninth princess of Western Liang, who enters into a political marriage with Li Chengyin, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, played by Chen Xingxu. The latter has his own favourite concubine, and only agreed to this loveless marriage to secure his position as heir to the throne.It is later revealed that Xiaofeng had met Li Chengyin under the alias of Gu Xiaowu three years ago. He was on a secretive mission to conquer the western kingdoms, and used Xiaofeng to accomplish his goal. After finding out the truth, Xiaofeng jumped into the River of Forgetfulness, and Gu Xiaowu / Li Chengyin followed suit out of guilt, and perhaps also love. In the present-time, only Xiaofeng has regained her memories, and their heart-wrenching romance begins all over again. My dilemma now is that a friend who watched this in real time posted comments about the finale without warnings of "spoiler" and I now know the ending of the drama. In the past I have watched movies based on real life and ones based on books that I have read and watched knowing the ending but wanting to still see how the depiction of the story would unfold and do judge how well it matched with my ideas of the story. In this case I have not read the book and have been forming my opinions right along with the episodes as they aired for me. I am only at 15 of 52 and had to pause now to digest the information as to the ending and decide to I want to continue watching to that conclusion.

So Long 2018, Hello 2019

2018 gave me many challenges. I can, however, look back on 2018 and find that there was much that I had overcome. Resolution are difficult, if not impossible, to keep since we tend to set them as such large ambiguous challenges.Rather than making resolutions I simply set goals for change, nothing big, just simple things that I can accomplish and build upon and then at the end of the year I can look back upon these with a sense of pride rather than feeling like I failed to keep a resolution.

Medical Cost!

It is nearing the end of the year and I reviewed my cost of living, not the COL that the government states but how much it has cost me to stay alive this year. It averaged out to about $315 per day for the medical cost. I average earnings of about $65 per day!

Feeling a Bit Like Scrooge & Grinch

I am the kind of person who wants the spirit of Christmas to last all year long. The joy of taking part in all the seasonal traditions has been something I have looked forward to each year. This year, however, I have not even placed one Christmas decoration. I have not baked any treats. I have not mailed any greeting cards. Why? Each day I tell myself that today will be the day that I get into the holiday spirit but then I wake up and the reality of the current health issues remind me that I have to take small steps and only do the necessary task. Alas holiday festivities are not on the short list. Depression, something that is common around the holidays, hits and even the sound of holiday music does nothing to break me free from this feeling. I am so tired of putting up the brave, smiling front since every time that I am ready to be happy the other C in my life grabs the attention. Give me a few days and I will get over it.. I always do.

The Monster Under The Bed

People have called me brave and strong but the truth is I am a coward. I live every day/night as if the monster will get me. It has already taken my uterus and ovaries, my spleen, a section of my liver (at least that organ fights back), two sections of my spine (one replaced with synthetic and the other by donor), and most recently it has set its sight on lungs. So I am not brave or strong but I am stubborn.

Update

Wow, it looks like forever since I posted on here and a lot has happened. The #1, being that I finished a course of chemo and have been given a few weeks off. The cancer is still showing its ugly self in scans and biopsy but for now seems to sluggish so we are in control.

I am tired and have a lot of pain but so far all is bearable.On the positive side, I have lost weight, and for me that was something I had been trying to do for years! Hair loss this time around was not as bad and the new hair growth seems to be coming in as white which I like.

I am still working and my employer has been very accommodating with my frequent time off request for treatment. I work from home and that makes things much easier.

The medical bills continue to grow at staggering rate but I am keeping up with quarterly payment and with a lot of help from the Gofundme that was set up by friends. Bless them.

Help From Friends

During my long battle with cancer, I have received both emotional and financial support from family and friends. I am staggered, however, when financial aid is received from someone (individual or corporation) at times as anonymous funding. This past month there were two such payment and granted I know someone who works at each of the companies, it is still heartwarming to receive this kind of support. It helps to be able to go in for treatment without the added worry of the increasing debt. There is still a long way to go with the treatment (new surgery being discussed).

Cancer Sucks!

This battle is starting to tire me out mentally. Every time there is some good news, it seems to be followed by a "but" and news that brings back worries. Add to that the financial worries and there are days like today that life just does not seem worth living. When I open the billing statements that come at the end of every month, my heart starts to race and I can feel the BP rising. I look at my budget to see if there is anything that I can "borrow" from to be able to make at least a small payment against the ever growing medical debt. When I die, not even my life insurance will cover it.I wonder how others cancer survivors maintain their sanity through the battle.

A couple of weeks ago I had a scan and now I am set to me with the medical team to go over the results. There have been many ups and downs over the last few years and though I will admit that there were many days went I felt defeated, there were more days when the encouragement of family and friends gave me the strength to get back up and fight. I do not know what this next phase will entail but for now I can only get my mind focused on a win.

Peter, Paul and Mary - Wedding Song "There is Love" (25th Anniversary Co...

"Wedding Song (There Is Love)" is a song written by Noel Paul Stookey in the fall of 1969 and first performed at the wedding of Peter Yarrow - Stookey's co-member of Peter, Paul and Mary - to Mary Beth McCarthy at St Mary's Catholic Church in Willmar MN: Stookey was best man at the ceremony which took place in the evening of October 18, 1969.



Stookey had written the song on a midnight flight between Peter, Paul and Mary concert dates in San Jose and Boston setting out to write a song for Yarrow's wedding which would convey Stookey's Christian convictions while respecting Yarrow's Jewish faith.



According to Stookey "the melody and the words [of "Wedding Song"] arrived simultaneously and in response to a direct prayer asking God how the divine could be present at Peter's wedding." (The first two lines of the song's second verse: "A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home/ And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one", is largely a paraphrase of the text of Genesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.") Believing he could not take personal credit for composing "The Wedding Song", Stookey set up the Public Domain Foundation which since 1971 has received the song's songwriting royalties for charitable distribution."

Peter, Paul and Mary - Blowing in the Wind

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described[by whom?] as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".



In 1999, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
