    Best wishes and happy thoughts for you as you commence your six weeks of kicking cancers ass!

    Btw: Being grateful for your challenges was one of the best things I've ever read. Thank you.
    tish, I somehow missed this in today’s flurries. It means a lot to me :)

    And this day of firsts is done!
    Good to get that done. Five hours is a long time. Will the sessions always be that long? How are you feeling?
    I’m doing okay this morning, thanks for asking. Even gonna hit the gym before today’s radiation.

    it looks like the chemo will be four to five hours. Blood tests first, bags of anti-nausea, steroids and hydration, then the cisplatin (chemo shit). Like at radiation, every type of person there: some with a small army of supporters, some around my age and way deeper into the treatment than I. Younger folks, multiple ethnicities…all reminders of our commonality, for better or worse.

    I am glad you are feeling ok. That is great that you are hitting the gym. It will help to keep your body strong. It sounds like you might get a lot of reading done. You know you have your own army of supporters here, even if we can't be with you in person.

    Rob, I completely understand, and send strength for your father, and for you as well. I’ll find out soon enough just how strong I really am. Fingers crossed I cross those hurdles with some semblance of grace :lol:

    GG, my own army of supporters. I like that! And truly appreciate it. Just no goose-stepping =)

    Well, it seems the treatment effects decided to hit sooner rather than later. It’ll been not even a week? C’mon.

    It blows…and I know it’ll get worse. Like I told a cousin, all I can do right now is ride it out best I can. And keep the anti-nausea meds nearby!

    Ugh. I am sorry to hear that. Just keep thinking that the same thing that is making you feel sick is actually also healing you. I hope the anti-nausea meds work and you feel better soon. You still got this.

    Wish I could sit next to you and just be there.  I know you have a great person  physically  by your side.  Lean on him, he's got you.
    We have you, here.  
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Yeah, I was surprised at the quickness and utter fatigue. But you’re right, I know this. And also what GG said about the meds doing what they’re supposed to. 

    Meltdown, hell yes.

    You should listen to Country Boner. I think you’d dig it. 

    Merk, fuckin A. I quoted that to my husband just the other day. I’m sure it’ll be muttered to myself more than once in the coming months.
