The last post I wrote, aC There were 2 letters I wrote during my first round of chemoaC|aC I said aC roundaC when I believe I should have said, aC cycleaC . I am currently on my second cycle; the first cycle consisted of 4 rounds, each spaced 21 days apart. Each treatment I believe is called a round. This is the 2nd letter that was referenced in my last post that I wrote to Bob while I was in jail during my first cycle and after my 4th round. A Dear Bob, I have a little over a month to go before I am released. My 4th round of chemo has hit me very hard, Right now I am dreadfully sick from the chemotherapy. These treatments are awful, leaving me sick and weak, but as sick as I am from these treatments, IaC m not taking my fate lying down. The tumor in my leg is active again and some days I suffer in great pain, but because IaC m an Immortalist I am able to defy the pain. No amount of pain and suffering can diminish my hope of an eternal physical life. ThataC s all well and fine for me but I am reminded that not everyone has the same pain threshold. Death for them might seem like a blessing, especially if they are not planning on being physically immortal. While I cannot agree with such a decision I can empathize and imagine the magnitude of such intolerable pain and the decision to put an end to oneaC s life. I imagine that only those who have been this sick or suffered the agony of crippling pain understand the lure and peace offered by death. I am an Immortalist however, so no amount of suffering could deter me. I will not accept the prognosis of my demise without a fight. I plan on beating the odds and surviving this terminal lung cancer. I plan on fighting hard, not because I fear death but because I so love life. Death is staring at me and IaC m staring it right back without blinking. --0-122538171-1221153094=:30889 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31045
