fuck that. I just ran a check on the Dogfish head website with your zip code:
Your search returned 0 locations within 100 miles of _________."

Don't you have a nice friend in WY that visits once in a while?

Hell yes I am here! I have already had my sister on notice in the Fort Collins area. About a dozen listed in her zip code. If it shows up there, we may be in luck!

Ha, I'd love to help you out but even though Little Rhody was a huge Dog Fish consumer, they dropped us from their distribution list :evil: But where there is a will there is a way. Look for a duct taped box near you..................

Will keep my eyes peeled and you never know............I wonder if the postal service will let me ship a keg? If I wrap it in duct tape and there are no beer/liquor references showing and I lie and say there's nothing liquid in it? :roll:

Rob, quit making me look bad with that hour of cardio. Jeesh! You got a problem with portly?

Keep making me laugh and stay on the mend!

Peace.

Why anyone "chooses" to live in Utah is beyond me but to each their own. I know its beautiful but it seems so restricting in so many ways. But hey, you're digging it, right? Anyway, beer is known to be an excellent source of carbs so drink up as you train for your triathlon. Hope you're well and things are good for you Rob. Keep that mischeivious twinkle in your eye!

Peace.

the alcohol laws are really the only thing that make it different from anywhere else....that and the heavily republican/mormon government :roll: . salt lake city, itself, is pretty liberal.

I start chemo again tomorrow . I am really hoping the side effects are more mild than the last time. I have two reasons to hope: 1) there's no radiation this time and 2) I only get 48 hours worth, every two weeks, as opposed to 24/7. the fact that it's 24 weeks sucks.

oh well...what can ya do? with all the support I get around here, I'm sure I'll make it through

Best of luck with your second round of chemo Rob. Jen and I will be thinking of you and Codie... as always, let us know if we can do anything to help... like maybe brushing off your satellite dish.

3) You are at the tail end of treatment, instead of just beginning it....that's gotta count for something, even if its mostly psychologically.
And the cancer is GONE

I concur with #3. This is all preventative maintenance now. Lots of love ,light and hugs.

Sounds to me like you're rounding third and heading toward home. Question is, will you cross the plate sliding head first or upright in stride? Me thinks the latter and what's 24 weeks at this point of the game? You'll be fine Rob and KICKIN ASS! But if you need anything, even from my little armpit backwater part of the country, give a holler!

Peace and positive Chi to you and yours.

Howdy peeps!
Rob, I hope the chemo round 2 goes ok.
My auntie is on 'maintenance' chemo for her non hodgkins lymphoma (sp?), she went through what sounds like a similar regime after her op, and now further on only has chemo 4 times a year.
(Hers is slightly different, as they can't cure hers, they can only treat it when it occurs - when tumors appear etc..she's had 5 in 8 years or there abouts)
Anyway, the maintenance chemo has really helped and the side effects are not as severe so I reckon you'll be grand!
Take care though matey and you know where we are if you need us!

I started round #2 of chemo today. I wasn't quite sure what it would entail or what they hope to accomplish, but they cleared up a lot. you would think I would know these things :roll: but there's a lot of information overload...

They were concerned there were three positive lymph nodes after surgery but I'd be getting this additional chemo, regardless...I said "so, in a perfect world, there would have been no positive lymph nodes?"...the PA said "no, in a perfect world, you and I never would have met" good line...and true. she also said finding three wasn't good...but it's better than four...or ten.

So, I go in and they IV push two anti nausea meds...then they do a two hour IV drip of oxaliplatin (chemo) and leucovourin (enhancer....but not in the cialis sense ). I had no idea I'd be there for three hours...next time I'll take a laptop :roll: . after all that shit, they push a BIG syringe of 5FU and hook me up to the take home pump (also 5FU).

they were telling me "don't drink cold milk, don't drink cold water." who cares? what about BEER???? as soon as I got home, water (yes, water) already tasted different :shock: . the good news is, I go back on friday and the DC the pump. it will push the same volume of 5FU that used to take 7 days :shock: . looks like I may be embarking on another "long road." I'm hoping for the best

ShimmyMommy

Wow, what a day. I am hoping for the best also. You are doing such a great job! There's no stopping you now!

GO ROB GO!!!

Love, light and hugs!!

Wobbie

I ran a test...water tastes weird....but beer still seems OK! :thumbup:

I'm getting error messages on my pump...I just called "tech support"...I could barely hear him over his kids screaming in the background :roll:

as I was typing the above, the alarm went off again....I think I got a bum pump :x

Loulou

Wow, your a trooper Rob. Just found out today that my other Aunty has ovarian cancer. Feeling very sad but they are very strong, brave people just like you so I know they will be okay. Keep up that incredibly admirable attitude mate. :thumbup:

Nothing like raising a little hell. I read somewhere that the patients that get the best medical care are the ones that make pains in the ass of themselves. So go be a pain in the ass. :twisted:

Srsly, I hope they can resolve the pump issue fast and make this a little easier for you.
