    oh good lord, I am to the curb. not even sure I can compose a post but here's where I'm at...

    ALL I want to do is sleep and somehow fast forward through these next 2-3 weeks. after tomorrow, I have 2 more weeks of chemo and 14 radiation treatments (halfway thru). every bad side effect you could have, I've got. I've got to get in my truck in a few minutes and drive to radiation and the thought of the drive is daunting. it just sucks...when they said I would feel worse with each passing day, they weren't kidding.

    I had a friend come over to walk gracie today. I feel guilty for her but I think she knows her dad is not right.

    On a brighter note, Codie is recovering well. on my second visit yesterday, they had removed her IV and catheter and she was eating some solid food. they're going to let her come home tomorrow :D . I'm going to see her after radiation but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long.

    send me your vibes, prayers, whatever. tell cancer I'm going to kick it's punk ass!

    p.s. in case anyone wonders "how the hell can you have a tennis ball (me) or baseball (Codie) sized mass and not know?", you can. the doc said codie's was not that unusual and she felt perfectly fine up until monday morning. luckily, it twisted and alerted her. mine, I knew something was going on and coulda/shoulda gone in a little sooner...but the $#@&^ing thing had been growing for probably 2 years :cry:

    Rob,

    Stay strong, for Codie, Gracie and your family...you all need each other.

    Sending you my {{{HUGS}}} and good vibes.
    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.

    When I had an orange sized cyst on my ovary, I had not a clue! Apparently our inside stuff can be very accommodating. :wtf: :sick::lol:

    I promise you, if Codie's experience is like mine, she will recover rapidly. I hate that you're having to feel so bad. And that you're having to drive yourself too. :( I think many of us would be glad to help out if we could be there.

    happy to report, my day got better....

    I drug my ass to radiation and then went to see Codie. That brightened me up but I was still dragging. while we were visiting, I noticed there were a ton of air bubbles in the "supply line" of my chemo pump. I didn't really want to drive clear to the chemo place, but figured I better give them a call.

    I called up and explained the situation. the nurse says "you're at IHC? we have an office there; have one of their nurses check the pump." so, I go in and the chemo bag is completely empty, one day ahead of schedule. most likely, I got all my chemo but they didn't put enough of the saline(?) in with it. so, they call call normal nurse and she says to DC me. what does this mean? almost a whole day without the fucking bag attached to me! woo-hoo! :mrgreen:

    but it gets better.....I'm walking to my truck and I have a thought. I go back in and ask "any chance I could take my first real shower in over a month?" the nurse says "absolutely." so, right now, I'm off to the shower. I'll probably take another 1-2 tomorrow morning. this is an awesome turn of events on a day that needed one! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    also, dc faithfull dropped by with some beer (which he drank) and some food (which I wolfed down). :thumbup:
