I was anxious and nervous as the day of my first chemo procedure was closing in.
My family surprised me with a party and gifts to help me get through the treatments. The gifts were packed in a beautiful Jon Hart bag. It was teal, the official color for ovarian cancer. Packed inside were a deck of cards, a journal, a super cute hat, word puzzle books and six pairs of cozy socks.
The socks were from my sweet sister-in-law, Sally. I was scheduled for six rounds of chemo, and Sally instructed me to wear one pair of socks to each treatment and then throw them away! When the socks are gone, so is my cancer!
At each chemo session, I kick off my shoes and slip on the comfy socks. And as I leave the building, I ceremoniously toss the socks into the trash can by the door…bye, bye socks! Bye, bye cancer!
