Tumor Times, Volume 2

Time for the second missive in a continuing series of exciting cancer updates.

I had my first chemotherapy on Friday. It took almost 12 hours. I was comfortable for most of the treatment, except for one difficult half hour of nausea, light-headedness, and back pain. I got through that and everything else was uneventful for the rest of the day.

I also had lab tests earlier in the week. As far as I know, nothing new or negative has been discovered through those tests. The prognosis is still good.

At the moment I am feeling fine and I have plenty of energy. I’m taking a break from cutting grass. My lawn mower doesn’t want to run. It keeps stalling. I think it has cancer also.

Next week, I’m going to have an injection on Monday, and more blood work after that. I am told my hair will start to fall out in about a week. I am also told that the first doldrums will start in a week or so. I’m trying to find things to do that will boost my energy levels though all of this. I’m thinking about eating lots of ice cream. That should cure me of everything!

That’s all for now. Please keep Susan and me in your prayers. We need them.
