done with the week...
Finished my long week, and it hasn't been too bad. A lot better than last time. I was able to eat about 75% of my normal diet with some nausea. I've mostly been fatigued, I come home from chemo a little before lunch and eat. Then sleep for a good 2-3 hours then just relax a run and errand or two. Things are moving along. One of my nurses at the infusion center today was telling my mom and I how my oncologist was raving about me being his prized patient. He was very happy with how I'm progressing and how I am responding to the chemo meds.
So I have two weeks off w/my boost of bleomycin on mondays (the one that gives me the flu and fever) and I meet with Dr. Nagourney the second week for hopefully some good news. I saw on the surf report the waves we were up and my parents and I went down to the wedge, the waves were a good 6-12 feet...bad shape though. Huge crowds, it was pretty wild.
Thanks for the support...and I'm trying to keep on truckin' (a la frank the tank)

Hey Scott,
That's cool about your ipod- whatever that is. I didn't know what a blog was until Zena explained it to me. I'm learning to burn CDs tonight- exciting friday night- I know. Well, you're not completely alone w/ this Cancer thing. I finally had my surgery and have a pretty big scar on the middle of my forehead, but thankfully cancer free now. Mine doesn't come close to what you're going through, but I am much more aware of cancers in general now and it's hard to tell people that I have it too. Some people I tell because mine was preventable and I want them to protect themselves from sun. With others, it's harder to tell them because it's such a deadly disease and many people don't want to be close to someone who might leave them. I don't know if you can relate at all- just throwing out my new insight. Anyhow, Oh yeah- miss you at work, want you to come back soon. It did me a world of good to see you at work 2 weeks ago- it really rested some of my fears about how you're doing- I recognize that it was a good day and you have your bad days as well, but we're all looking forward to the day you return to work- HEALTHY and CANCER-FREE!!! I'm praying for you daily- mostly when I'm at work. You're such a blessing to so many people and a helping hand. If I can be a help to you in any way, please call me.
Your friend,
Linda.
