    on a non-related note, I gave up on my failed experiment and cut my hair. I'd gone over a year w/o a haircut and it was awful. I was looking like stone, circa 2009 :shock: ...now, I'm back to looking like 2000 stone :mrgreen:


    or unlost cicra 2011. :P

    I'm sitting here at the chemo place. it could be worse....it's mellow today and I have a nice mountain view from a comfy recliner. I've got an hour and a half to go and then they'll send me on my way. I do hate that fucking pump I will be leaving with....I tell myself it's way better than the 24/7 relationship I had with it for six months but, still.... :x I found myself in a bad mood yesterday, just knowing I had to come down here today. maybe the 24/7 was better, in that there was never any relief. These days, I dread getting knocked back on my ass....before, I was pretty much on my ass for nearly two months straight.

    oh well...enough bitching. when I get DC'ed on Friday, 3 out of 12 treatments will be done!
    Man, I wish I knew what to say. It sounds like chemo just plain sucks no matter how they give it to you. I'm thinking about you all the time, hoping you can just get through this latest crazy phase of your recovery. You can do it, I believe in you! :wave:

    Hey Rob,

    Did you or they play "Almost Cut My Hair" by CSNY when you got your hair cut? And who you calling young? :o

    You're a quarter of the way there with your chemo treatments and seem to be plugging right along. Reading what you've been through and if it were me, I think I would have crawled under a rock by now. Hang in there and know that I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Look for a duct taped box near you soon. Seriously though, BE WELL! (kind of like be the ball).

    Peace and positive Chi to you and yours.

    thanks, you guys.

    I forgot to mention I just heard that another fire captain I worked with (same shift, same station) has multiple myeloma (blood cancer) :cry: . this guy has always been kind of a bullshitter who never really gives anyone the real story about anything...so I don't know much...but I know myeloma is not good. it killed my across the street neighbor in vegas.

    so, since I've left the FD (last August) there's been me, the guy I just mentioned, another 48 year old with a cancerous brain tumor and a guy in his 50s who recently died from pancreatic cancer. this shit is beginning to piss me off, you know ;) ? All of our cancers are completely different and I think it's more a coincidence than job related. then again, who knows? at any rate, cancer sucks. I sadly think my long term prognosis is the best of us four...

    well, no, I didn't play "ACMH"....because there was no "almost" about it. I did cut my hair :lol:

    No Faithfull, yet :cry: . We get a lot of decent beer out here but, damn, I do miss the beer superstores (Total Wine, Lee's, etc) of Las Vegas.

    Finish up and go spoil that dog of yours! And be pissed off as well. You're right, cancer sucks as I've also known way too many family and friends who have suffered through. But you seem to be kicking its sorry little ass, short hair and all. Dunno what else to say but hang in there and stay positive. And spoil that dog!

    Do wish PJ would cover ACMH. It would be epic.

    Peace Rob!

    Everyone's experience is different with cancer and when you hear about those less fortunate than you (can you believe I am using those words???) it can make you even more angry for so many reasons. You are going through hell...chemo saps every inch of life out of you both mentally and physically...you will have good days with acceptance, bad days with total anger and resentment, and days when you just feel like finding a way to forget abut it all. You share your roller coaster and let us in on such dark places and also some good ones too. You remind us of why we are lucky despite the fact a kid pissed me off today as I was teaching, or an idiot almost ran me off the road...Your story is important and I am so grateful that you continue to share.

    Try not to look for blame...people in the same type of job with different cancers is not an indication that the job can be a cause. keep your chin up, take one day at a time, empathize with others but try not to let their fight consume you...you ahve your own right now, and keep living life to the fullest xxx

    I'll bet it was really worse for you than it was for Sammy. As the patient, you just do what you gotta do and look forward to the day this spring when all of this will be hopefully behind me.

    With all your guys' help :mrgreen: , I'm probably doing better than you might expect. Most of the time my disposition is quite sunny! :lol:

    P.S. it turns out the co-worker I mentioned (the bullshitter :lol: ) has Mantle Cell Lymphoma, not multiple myeloma. Either way.....not good :cry:

    With all your guys' help :mrgreen: , I'm probably doing better than you might expect. Most of the time my disposition is quite sunny! :lol:

    P.S. it turns out the co-worker I mentioned (the bullshitter :lol: ) has Mantle Cell Lymphoma, not multiple myeloma. Either way.....not good :cry:

    Next spring it WILL be all behind you and you will look back and ask "How the hell did I get through that?" But now you are on the Long Road of shittiness (sorry...still can't help it) and you have to take a day at a time. You have no choice, the same as Sammy, but you are remarkable and doing so well. I feel for the other guy...but I learned that you 'meet' so many cancer patients..some with hope, some with none...we just have to give them our best wishes and keep on fighting. I cried each time Sammy lost a friend, but celebrated those who completed treatment with pride, joy and hope for ourselves. And no matter what....no matter who you talk to... no matter how you feel....CANCER SUCKS!!!!

    How ya doin' today Rob? Hope you're well!

    Was raking leaves last night in front of my house and this guy walking his dog stopped to chat. He had an 18 month old golden. Just a beautiful sweet doggie. Made me think of you and Gracie. Go take her for a walk and enjoy the day!

    Peace.

    well, I am Dog Owner of the Year....you should have seen the freezing rain crap we were walking in this morning :lol:. and, of course, wet gracie is now lying on the humans' bed :roll:

    I'm not loving this "super chemo" they're giving me. I was about to type that this is way worse than the first round but I just now remembered the stomach cramps, the mouth sores, the peeling skin :x

    I guess this round is just different. I've had a headache since thursday, food doesn't taste right, my hands go numb if I touch anything the least bit cold, my calves ache :wtf: and the first few bites of anything are agony, until my jaw loosens. I am hoping all these symptoms will lessen by Thanksgiving and I think they will. I would certainly like to eat and drink way too much on thursday.....like any other "normal" american :lol:

    Who says you're normal? :P

    Whether this round of chemo is worse, better, different or what, it sounds pretty sucky!

    I can't imagine having the taste of food ruined for you right before our biggest foodie holiday. I hope Thursday is still an enjoyable day with lots of tasty treats and brews for the game time! :mrgreen:

    Well, I hope she had the good manners to wipe her feet before jumping up into that bed! Don't really have any advice for how to deal with how you're feeling of late other than to say with each passing day, the end of the chemo gets closer. That being said, I hope that you have a nice appetite on Thursday and are able to enjoy the day. I'll keep you in my thoughts and raise a bloody mary and a beer to you when I start my day.

    Be well Rob and keep Gracie away from the dessert table. Hang tough my friend, hang tough!

    Checking in with you Rob!

    Sorry you're feeling 'shitty'... ;) but I'm sure a big Gracie hug will make you feel better.

    I'll be thinking of you this weekend. :D

    (I do think you should at least give Gracie a bite of pumpkin pie...pumpkin is good for doggies...keeps them 'regular')
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
