Hey FS Warriors,

Having a rough go this past two weeks with more bad days than good. I'm very tired all the time but can't sleep most nights even with ambien. The nausea is worse this round despite the meds I have for it and the ginger supplements I'm taking to combat it.

Trying to be more active as it's supposed to help with the fatigue but it's hard to get going when you have no energy so I'm caught in a catch 22. I did manage to get 4 walk/runs and 1 walk in over the past two weeks but I haven't made it to the gym in weeks if not months.

So my goal this week is to get back to work. Before the dianosis I was exercising 5 or 6 days a week and hopefully I can get back to that. I won't over do it, trust me I've learned the hard way what that leads to, but I am going to push myself to at least accomplish a little bit each day.

Keep Grinding!

Hey FS Warriors,

Round 7 in clinic chemo done, just have the pump I call Wilson with me now. For those that haven't seen it yet here's how it works. I get the pump of 5FU chemo for 2 days and it attaches to an IV port that was implanted in my chest.

After 2 days Wilson is flat and looks like Tom Brady got a hold of him. Then I go get disconnected and wait 11 days for the next round.

Good news is everything is looking good as far as blood work goes. The doctor cut the oxalplatin dosage in half to help with the neuropathy and next round will be my be last with that drug so the neuropathy doesn't become permanent. On the homestretch now only 5 more rounds to go.

I've attached a pic Wilson and where he connects to me. As a bonus you use it to scare small children and it also repels most rodents.

Keep Grinding

Hey FS Warriors

Doing pretty good this round so far. The cold sensitivity/ neuropathy is still an issue but I'm not as worn down as I was the past 2 rounds. Touching cold stuff makes my hands feel like they are getting shocked, also drinking cold stuff hurts my throat for a week or so after treatment. Simple things you never think of like silverware and door knobs are suddenly instruments of torture lol. So I wear gloves to get anything from the fridge, use plastic forks and spoons when I can and my oldest daughter's best friend crocheted me little silverware and cup cozies that I keep in the car for when I dine out.

We had family in town last weekend for my youngest son's High School graduation and I was able to attend the ceremony and spend time with them over the weekend. Weather has kept me from walking as much as I wanted but I have got two in so far this week.

Keep Grinding
