Treatment 5

Thanks for all the comments everyone !! Ryan, send me your email or something so we can catch up. Long time no talk. Do you have a facebook page or anything?

Anyway, treatment 5 done and over with. Rachel (sister) was here for an early Christmas and it was good to see her. Sarah made a great Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. She also got me a nice new razor for shaving, a good book (The Last Lecture), a couple snowboard vids (wish I could ride) and a level, ya know for hanging things and stuff. Thanks babe !!! You're the best and I love you.

Overall I didn't feel too bad this weekend. Nausea was in check. Just the usual tiredness. Still feeling it today too. It's totally freezing here also. Below zero with wind chilll I think. Not a lot of snow. Just cold. Anyway, not a whole lot of news to report. Just maintaining and looking forward to spring and to be done with all of this :)

Achy

The Neupogen shots make my bones hurt. Oh well, I guess they are working to stimulate my WBC production in my bone marrow. I am feeling better today but still tired. No nausea which is good. Holding off on the house hunt for a few months until it's closer time to get out of our apartment and until I get a little better. I was getting a bit stressed about a house but now I just need to chill. Just trying to be thankful and relax.

Tired

Well I got some new pills (Decadron) for the nausea and they seemed to help over the weekend. However, my level of fatigue was ridiculous. Saturday I could barely function. It's getting better but I'm still exhausted. I also am getting shots (Neupogen) Friday through today to boost my white blood cell counts because they are so low. I really need to watch out for getting sick. Not much else to really talk about other than being completely exhausted for the past few days. Back to work this week and trying to stay positive and motivated. It's tough though. Looking forward to feeling better this week and getting a Christmas tree this weekend !! Maybe even look at a house or two !!! We'll see.

It's my Birthday !!

It's my Birthday and I'm at work. Going to Mom's for dinner and cake. Should be a good evening.

So anyway, Thanksgiving was nice and I was well fed. Sarah and I went to a Cleveland Browns game on Sunday and they lost of course, not that I really care. Go Pats !! Anyway we had suite seats at the 50 yard line thanks to one of Sarah's connections through work. It was really nice...food, open bar, great view. Wish I could have had a couple beers though.


Tommorrow is treatment #4....1/3 of the way through. Hopefully my blood counts are good so that I can receive the treatment. Slowly but surely I will get through all this. More to follow.............
