Today was pretty much just a normal work day. I spent the day at the office, mainly in meetings and just relaxed this evening. Frank and Liz did some shopping for me, laying in provisions for when I am in the chemotherapy.
For dinner Liz made a very reasonable reproduction of the Gouda Mac & Cheese I had at the Roxy last week. It was delicious (and that is not just because we ate fairly bland sandwiches for the last week). They did warn me to go primarily with a bland diet once I start the chemo and to avoid my favorite foods since if I feel nauseous it could trigger me to dislike that food later. They are suggesting to focus on calorie and nutrient dense foods, so at least for the near term I am not off carbs.
Hi Rich,
mark just told me what happened and I am wishing you the best. My dad just recovered from colon cancer at 92 and my sister is a breast cancer survivor. I hope and pray the chemo is working all right and not making you too nauseous. Please keep us posted and we’d love to see you.
Lotsa love,
Mark and Dar
Thank you Darlene. I hope to see you and Mark soon. It has been too long. Your Dad’s recovery at that age reinforces my confidence that this will be overcome and I remain optimistic.
