Random Thoughts

I won’t sugar coat it.  This treatment seems to have hit me a little harder.  Mainly the soles of my feet are sore (sensitive?) and my left leg is stiff around the quadriceps.  I spent a good deal of time just sleeping it off with a few naps on Friday and Saturday. Now it is […]

I just received a call from the NP at the Oncologist’s office.  The CT scans were available and the good news it that they show that the chemotherapy is working.  The bad news it that the upper torso scan showed a small pulmonary embolism.  This happened to coincide with a left leg cramp late yesterday […]

Thursday was day 2 of treatment 4.  As usual, I get pretty tired on that day and this was no exception.  I spent the day at work since it was a meeting heavy day.  Everything is still going fine, and no update yet from the Oncologist about the CT scan results.  I am hoping to […]

Wednesday was a little disappointing.  Nothing to worry about though.  I started the fourth treatment and my blood work is all still looking good as are my vitals.  I did lose a little weight in the last 2 weeks, but that is not necessarily bad, I am eating a little healthier and there were a […]

So today I drove out to Rancho Bernardo to get my CT scans taken.  The traffic was horrible, which surprised me since it was already after 9 and the bulk of the morning rush should have been long over.  I had given myself 40 minutes to get there and it took 45.  Not too bad, […]

Sorry folks, I went to bed early last night and didn’t get this posted first. It was a pretty uneventful Monday, so really not much to say.  It is Tuesday morning now and I am heading out to get my CT scans in about an hour.  I hope to have news from that some time […]

Today was a good but uneventful day.  I had hoped to get some work in but just didn’t have the enthusiasm for it. Isabella let me sleep in until 8:30 after which I did my duty and provided her breakfast.  I spent the day mostly relaxing.  I skipped the workout and did hit Peet’s for […]

Today was another good day.  I woke up early enough (8AM) and donned my cycling shorts and headed to the garage for some spinning.  I got in a solid 30 minutes on the bike.  After the cycling I headed off to shower, and to change out the barrier which had gone nearly 4 days. The […]

It was nice to end the week.  It was a good week but I am definitely ready for a weekend. Barrier update: Three days and still working.  I probably should change it tonight, but I prefer to change it after a shower, so I hope to get a light workout in when I wake up […]

So today was generally a good day.  I went to work, I finished one of my lingering tasks and I ate Thin Mints. So I had been worried about the third treatment since I was told that by then I would have enough of the drugs in my system that I would expect to feel […]
