the point of no return

Every time that I consider something in the sense of being more than halfway through I am for some reason drawn back to a line from the terribly cheap film, “Falling Down,” the movie where Michael Douglas loses it and starts on some sort of ill-fated mission and fights back against all the bullshit that he sees in the world. I can’t say for sure that this battle has been anything near what the basis of that film at all, but the line where he describes the “point of no return” always comes to the forefront of my mind - “That’s the point in a journey where it’s longer to go back to the beginning.”

So - five more, five more, five more and then four more, three more, two more, one more. Oh it is starting to feel so much more real, I am starting to feel so much more towards the alive side of living, I am excited to get over this as quickly as possible. I was told that treatments number seven and eight were the worst and so far I have no reason to believe that that will be true for me. My hair is hanging in there, I thank the Italian genes in me for that.

Toughing it out, guys.
