Saturday went as normal as can be. I slept in mainly because I didn’t get to sleep until 2AM (spent too much time getting my 2011 MacBook Pro up and running). Mostly the rest of the day was a normal relaxed Saturday. I watched some TV and a movie and hit Peet’s Coffee for a […]

My 1 day vacation was really nice. Not being wiped out from the treatment since it has been a week, it was definitely superior to the Wednesday treatment day off. I was pointed to some information on disabling the discrete GPU on my 2011 MacBook Pro and using that technique, I have been able to […]

Sorry about the gap in posts. Nothing much changing these days so I don’t really have much to write about. One can only complain about a keyboard so much. Mostly this week has been standard and uneventful. I have reached peak vacation time so I am now taking every other Friday off until I take […]

Nothing of note to report. Tuesday was a pretty normal day with back to back to back meetings from 9AM to 2PM after which I headed home, took a nap and worked from about 4:30 to 7 finishing up a task I had been trying to get to for weeks. The leg still feels pretty […]

Today was pretty chill. I woke around 8AM (slept in a little) and since I had no meetings on the calendar, I worked from home all day. breakfast was oatmeal, and lunch was grilled cheese on sourdough with tomato soup. Dinner topped it off with a meat loaf sandwich on the same sourdough. I would […]

Overall today was a good day. I didn’t get back on the bike, but that was more by choice than anything else. Since I was due to change out my appliance today, I would have normally done the workout first, then remove, shower and install new. In this case since I had already pushed my […]

Today (Saturday) was a pretty good day. I managed about 16 minutes on the bike before I stopped due to high heart rate (it wasn’t too high for normal workouts, but I am trying to avoid turbulent blood flow so when it hit 140 I stopped). I hope to get to 30 minutes tomorrow or […]

So Friday went pretty well. I worked in the morning until I needed to stop to go turn in the pump.  The 5-FU that the pump delivers for 46 hours still kicks my butt a little bit each time. This time I had a few bouts of the hiccups. It turns out though that nothing […]

So yesterday (Wed.) I started my fifth treatment. Today I wear the pump until about 11AM Friday delivering my 46 hours of the 5-FU drug. As I mentioned in the last post, I met with the Oncologist and we have discontinued the Avastin since it compounds the risk of blood clots, and having one already […]

I am sitting in the chair getting my first chemo drug today. I just met with my doctor and after reviewing my urine test and given the blood clot, we are going to discontinue the Avastin as part of the treatment.  The CT scan did show good progress on the liver and some improvement on […]
