Marmite

One of the many wonderful side effects of (the chemotherapy drug) Doxorubicin is mouth sores. My mom has been lucky so far, we’re in Cycle 1 Day 3 and so far side effects have been minimal. Of course her hair is totally gone, everyone says her bald head and

In Therapy

I’m sitting there twirling my thumbs, a little uncomfortable – I look around the office. I paste on a smile as she takes another sip from her moomin mug. The silence has stretched on for a bit now – it’s almost painful, I picture walking out, being free. She
