Commando
a word that conjures a lot of images
an undercover warrior
a special forces operative
being ready for action
It can also mean
for men (maybe women too?)
no underwear
if you go commando
you aren't wearing underwear
just you, your pants, and freedom
But today
I want to introduce a new concept.
Cancer-Commando
What is that?
is it a feeling?
a battle term?
a desire for freedom?
some stupid burt-ism?
No,
my new phrase (yes, I invented it)
mean's going sans treatment while be an active patient
I am going Cancer Commando.
Two cancers
yet,
I am not in treatment (at least western treatments)
I am not getting shots
I am not getting radiation
I am not doing chemo
nothing. I am doing nothing
I am going Cancer Commando
Why do I come up with crap like this?
Is it because of my eccentricities?
My IDGAF attitude?
Is it because I have nothing better to do?
Or does it just pop up into my head.
When I can answer that question, I will be impressed with myself.
Does it scare me, going Cancer Commando?
Not really.
You know me, 'just be".
I am feeling good (mostly)
taking care of myself
with all of my integrative treatments (diet, acupuncture, meditation, writing, exercise, outdoor time, hiking, planning fun things, etc)
so the commando part?
I got this.
But, I like the term,
and that made me happy.
