Upcoming progress check

So next week I have to get scanned again to see if any progress was made in the last few weeks. I hope we see a change.

Cheating death one day at a time

Yesterday I had one of the easiest chemo days since I started this mess. I saw my Dr and even though I'm not 100%, my test results came back fine. This meant no extra tests or medicine. I slept through a simple chemo drip and came home no problem. I need more days like this. Now I wait to see if the days following chemo will be good to me.

My 4 walls

I've been sitting in my room for the last 3 days now. Today is day 4. I think I'm noticing a pattern of my crummy days. It seems to be the days following chemo. For example this week I had chemo Monday and Tuesday and felt horrible Wednesday and Thursday. I felt more energized and upbeat on Friday but I still hung out in my room. My Xbox isn't going to play itself after all. Now it's Saturday and my beautiful fiancé is here to take care of me. She made me breakfast which I couldn't eat due to lack of appetite. She also brought me home made lunch which again no appetite. I think those two last words best sum up this week. No appetite.

Got my discharge papers

I'm so glad they let me come home from the hospital yesterday. I had no complications to hold me in. They had my papers signed and ready before my meds were done dripping into me. Now that's what I like.

2 years

It's been 2 years today that El and I have been seeing each other. I proposed to her a year ago.

Chemo session 4

We're half way done. We start the 4th session of chemo today. Hopefully everything goes as planned and I get out tomorrow.

So what is the latest?

So the last thing I told you was that I had a camera down my throat. The result on that was negative. This is awesome since now I don't have to do at home antibiotics for weeks.

I do have a small infection though on my kidney. It's been giving me light fevers at night. So I'm getting pill antibiotics. Hope that goes away soon.

Yesterday was fun. I recharged my motorcycle battery again and rode my bicycle down my street a few times. Anything to not sit at home. Even drove my car and eventually my motorcycle down the street too. Just wanted a taste. I haven't driven since early Jan when I started chemo. I did notice it being harder to balance my motorcycle. I've lost too much weight and muscle.

Other than that I'm keeping busy on my Xbox a bit and working on some misc projects on my Mac.

I'm looking forward to Monday and Tuesday. I'll be in the hospital for session 4 of my chemo. We're half way done. I just hope I don't stay longer than Tuesday and that on Monday they start chemo early. I don't want to have to wait until the end of the day to be discharged. I'm traumatized from staying at the hospital too long.
