OMG, so many things have happened recently and I have not been keeping this blog up to date because of recent health challenges. Let’s talk about last month’s timeline. The blog entry before this one was all about going back on chemo. Well, that has been suspended for now. Instead, it’s all been about my […]
Last Tuesday I had my first chemo infusion since December. It appears that the liver infections are done now. The CT scan shows the abscesses clearing up and also showed a little bit of tumor growth, so it’s the perfect time to resume going after the cancer again. No time to wait. So I’ve been […]
These last 3 days have witnessed some real changes in my list of symptoms. The docs told me I could stop taking the antibiotics now. Blood tests look good. This will end months of heavy antibiotic use. I think it will take another month to see how my habit have to change. I don’t think […]
I was going to get chemo on November 24 but we found our minivan’s battery was totally flat. It wouldn’t start so we cancelled. To make up for it I came into the hospital at 7am on Monday the 29th. That was not so fun. Wake at a stupid early time, plow the early morning […]
It’s been a long time since the last post so I’ll just continue the threads from the last post. Starting with health: All drainage accoutrements and stents are out now. Endoscope city I tell ya. Finished all my antibiotic infusions a while ago. Blood tests show that I’m clean again. I’m still recovering from the […]
This has bee a heck of a month. I went into it strongly. Normal stuff like getting new tires for the LEAF. Then around each chemo infusion that have been getting weirdly worse. I am so grateful that the painters knew about 80% of the little color distribution we wanted, and we were fine steering […]
Sorry about the delays updating here. I’ve had 2 more infusions since writing here, so at least a month of silence. Well, aren’t you glad that you can sign up to get a brief email message whenever I post something new? After the 2nd infusion on June 8, I started having real digestive issues. I […]
I can’t believe it but this is the first time I’ve ever wanted a chemo infusion and have been delighted with the immediate results. The last month I think I’ve been feeling the effect of the cancer on me directly. Up until last week I never actually felt the cancer. I only felt the treatments. […]
I had my consultation with my oncologist this Monday and I’ve put off posting about it until now. No real surprise. It’s cancer again. The same kind as always so at least there’s been no obvious mutations on that mutation. We did manage to get enough meat with this biopsy that we can send some […]
I’m writing this at 1 am. I went to bed at 7 pm. Now my back hurts enough to keep me from sleeping yet again. I think this has been going on in some way since January. I can’t recall a full night’s uninterrupted sleep since then. I had been thinking it was only due […]
