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 […]
I broke myself on this house. We’ve been working so hard moving and getting this house into a place where we feel like it is truly ours. I’ve been lifting way too many things and turns out that even when I’ve been taking care to lift with my legs I’ve managed to over work all […]
I just had my latest blood tests, a CT Scan, a consult with my Liver Doc, and my Oncologist. It was all good news. Liver: The fat spot is just that, a spot. Not something to ignore but no scarring. My Liver Doc called it a “stage 0” Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). I’ll just keep living […]
I just came back from talking with my oncologist. The biopsy did not find any cancer. There’s a small chance that the biopsy missed the tumor but those odds are very very small since they had no problem imaging it during the biopsy. What did they find? The found a fat deposit. That is not […]
And it will take 3-4 days to get an answer back. Just wanted to let you know that it’s done. It was a really easy procedure, the least difficult of all the other excursions made into my body over the last couple of years. They gave me a lightweight dose of happy juice and lidocaine […]
I just got back from a blood test, a CT scan and a consultation with my oncologist. My CA19-9 is down quite a bit but the CT scan shows a spot on my liver that wasn’t there in previous scans. I asked whether it could be something associated with the abscess I had on the […]
