Update and musings

Update:
Chemo went well yesterday.
Today, no side effects or nauseaness. Just fatigue, which is fine, cause I have an empty schedule until Monday.

Musings:
Yesterday, was the beginning of the Hebrew month of Adar, in the lunar calendar, the sign for it is the fish, Pisces.
Adar is an especially joyous month and an auspicious month. The joyous holiday of Purim comes out in Adar. We celebrate our victory over the evil, Hamen. It was a victory that came painlessly and quickly, not after years of slavery, or destruction of the Holy Temple. The victory came through a young Jewish woman, Esther, who became the Queen of Persia. For those not familiar with the story, there are a lot of sources, just let me know and I will send you a link.
This year, the lunar calendar, like the solar calendar also has a leap year, and instead of one extra day, we have a whole extra month of Adar. That is two months of auspicious time, two months where the heavenly gates are open to our prayers, two months where we can expect quick and painless miracles from God.
I thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Keep it up. They are working!
