Day something

Weekend is here and I am fairly excited since it maybe the last weekend I am in the metro Detroit area. I am eating dinner over Mike and Em's House on their new patio. Sunday I am playing my last night of poker in who knows how long. I leave for Kzoo area next week to spend the rest of my days with my lovely fiancé, Kristyn.

As for my health my chemo has been put on hold since my Atc in my liver was too high. I am not sure if it was Atc or something like that but should be fine next week and can get back to schedule. So chemo wise I will start my 2nd round on the 14th. Hope this update helps thanks

Love Scott

Days didn't work

I still post as random as ever, and can't keep you updated as much as I would like. Right now I am busy with my personal life. I am moving to Hartford Mi in a couple of weeks. I still have to pack and get my crap together for that. On my health note I get my second round of chemo tomorrow and we will see how I been doing. Nothing really pressing or important. I will let you know if anything happens. Love you all

Day 3 Post

So as you can see I can't even post everyday it bores me and I know it would bore you to read this. Today was my last day of PT so now I have to work my ass off at home to get my leg straight. It will happen but I need to work on it. Should be a fun weekend and Kristyn is still trying to find us a home. I know we will get one it just takes time. Thats that...Oh played poker till 2am that about killed me....Good night y'all

day 2

Today was much easier to type out. Went to PT and found out that it my coverage runs out Friday so I have alot of work to do at home. Which I know I will battle with it. My friend brought me some pizza and watched a tape delay of the US Futbol match which was amazing. Felt like I was there. Then blah blah blah I went to bed. Day 2 in the books

day 1 longest of all days day 2 will be better

Day1:

This is very new what I am doing. More everyday posts of what my life is and where it is going. This will be the longest of the Day updates since I have to update you on what has happened since the last post. I have had a trail chemo i think I told you about but what I didn't tell you is that it is making me more nauseous than the other drug but have been fighting it off with some meds.

Thank you all for coming out to the benefit on Thursday June 17th it was a great success due to the Molly Rose McCormick and family on a great great outing. font change I guess. The dinner had a turnout of 220ish and all to support me some how way shape or form. God who knew I had so many peeps that loved and supported me. THanks again for this night. I will remember it for ever.

I have had some stomach issues that me and my mother have had some teamwork on and broke me down a bit but I am looking for the end of the tunnel to just have the easy part of life to live and not this hell of what i call a life. Let me just say I can't walk can't control my bathroom habits and need someone to make sure I get what I need and rides to Pt and other doc appointments. I mean I just want a break from all the shit.

We are looking for a house and that has become a hassle but I am glad Kristyn and Jeanne has taking the reins on that one. I love my friends and family and the really close people know who they are I want you to know all the help and love you send is the best thing I could ask for. I love you all.

Love Scott

Long time new update

So its been a really long time since I touched this blog. I have been busy, really busy but that is no excuse not to get you updates. In my life I am planning a wedding, buying a house, doing lots of PT, and starting a Clinical trial. All these things have both Kristyn and I stressed out but we are going to keep on trucking and make this all happen.

Kristyn moves to the west side of the state on Sunday and my mother moves back in to help me with PT. Both my ladies in my life have been great and put up with my inability to walk and me asking them to get me stuff and drive me places all the time.

The clinical trail I started is a Europe drug that has worked on sarcoma cancer. It is a 24hr infusion every 3 weeks. I get 3 infusions then a new CT scan to see if the drug is responsive to my cancer. I am excited to start this trail see if it works and if it doesn't i will move on to the next drug trail what have you.

I am in great spirits right now just excited about all the life changes things that are going on in my life. I am no longer employed and focused on my health. I am making ends meet with help from my parents and others. For those of you that don't know Molly One of the nicest people I know is throwing a charity dinner in 2 days on Thursday. She has worked really hard on this dinner so if you can show up then that would be awesome. Thanks for reading hope all is well in your life.

Love,

Scott

New news isn't always good news

Weeeeeeeeeeell. As you all know I have battled and kept the positive attitude and still am in the trenches trying to fight off this nasty thing. We had thought that the worst was behind us and that the best was yet to come but I have more to fight before I can state that.

We can start with the good news. My leg bypass was a great success and am recovering great from it. I can get my leg a little straighter and Kristyn, mother, PT lady, and myself are working to get my leg straight. I am hoping that by middle end of may I should be walking with a limp which I can't tell you how much of an accomplishment that will be. Just being able to walk will make me an easier problem for everyone to deal with.

Now on to the news that some know but not all. My tumors have moved to my brain. Yeah I know I don't have much up there to start with but the dear old cancer thing has decided to go upstairs and now I have to deal with that. The way we are going about that is called full brain radiation. I have 14 tumors so this method should kill all the cancer in my brain. I am going to U of M hospital to see what clinical trails I can maybe try to better my chances at this game of life. Sorry it too long to update this but as you can tell I been dealing with some things that are bigger than me. Love you all.

Lots to do

well its been many moons since I last typed in this blog and have some things to tell you. The first time I went in for my leg bypass it didn't go so well. I have a fever and the doc didn't want to operate on me while sick. I can understand that better after coming out of the surgery. Boy was I weak and boy did I need meds lots of meds.

For the fever I was speaking of I stayed in for 6 days as it teased me and tortured me going up and down like the stock market. I can take care of a fever most people can handle that but they insisted to handle it for the entire week. It sucked but I was back at my house just really drained from the whole experience.

My last surgery the artery bypass went better than planned it went was perfect. I was in a lot of pain and needed a lot of medication but I made it through the whole 5 hour long surgery. I had a 6inch cut in my stomach two smaller cuts in my leg and a body that had no energy at all to walk, talk, or communicate the great news. Today is a little better but I think for this thing to heal it will be a lot of work and dedication on my part.

I hope this explains better where I am at and what I am doing with the my health issues. Thanks and new news will be posted when they come up.

Fever Pitch

Over the last week I went into the hospital for what I thought was going to be a leg bypass and turned out to be a battle with a fever. If you have a bad fever you should go to the doctor or ER but don't go in unless you are in need of there help. I went in hoping to get my leg bypass and they decided to keep me for fever like symptoms. I stayed in there with a 100-101 fever for a week. I had to have a full 24 hours without have any kind of fever. Well i got out monday and my new surgery date is set for Tuesday. This didn't happen. I now have to wait a few weeks for my doctor to get back from vacation so that I can have my bypass. Luckily with hard work from my mother my wounds are looking better by the day and hoping that the bypass is just something that will speed them up.

I am now home trying to get some work done with my leg in some pain and not being able to get my self in the right mind or position that makes my leg feel good. that it makes it hard. I just need to suck it up and make calls and not worry so much about my leg.

Mid April is when I will have my bypass till then I am going to work on my leg and try and make some money. Thanks and I love you all

Scott

Long time no post

Sorry about the length of time between posts. I have no good reason to be honest with with you, Just guess I forgot, or thought that people didn't want to waste their time reading my blog. I know I try and keep in touch with most of you by Facebook, email, phone, or personal contact but I should keep this up to date just to make sure I know what is going on with my life.

So this up coming week is huge for me. Today I had a CT of my chest and lungs to make sure the cancer has not came back. Monday I will have a MRI of my leg to make sure the cancer has not struck back in the same spot. On tuesday if both come back clear I will have a bypass surgery on my leg that will make my circulation better (normal). If successful I will be able to have my wounds on my foot heal and hope that I can get my leg straight (from my knee contractor) and become a normal human. If the bypass doesn't work, well that means that I may lose my leg. I of course am hoping this doesn't happen.

I am in good spirits and the puppy is growing and the wedding planning I couldn't tell you. I am trying to stay as far away from the wedding details as possible. I hope that it just happens and I just show up. Well I am watching this crazy basketball that is going on so I hope all is well with you and yours.

Love Scott

Round down and out

I am out of the hospital and ready to be done with chemo. Ready to be done with cancer. I am so ready to be done with my leg problems and ready to move away from this thing that has consumed my life. I have some more things to get done like my leg bypass which will be in a few weeks and if that works I will need my wounds to start to heal.

The bypass seems to be a routine surgery but with the radiation damage in my leg it may be harder than expected. If this fails then I may have to have my leg taking off...Which sounds bad but really I am just glad I can say I survived cancer and it took some of me with it but I survived. If I am able to say that at the end of all this then I am one happy person.

I am growing up. I am engaged. My best friend is buying a house out is Seattle. All my friends are having babies. I mean my buddy Hern is about to have a baby girl next month or late this one. I am one grown up dude. I am happy that Chemo is done and to be honest with the whole experience has made me a better person. I love the people that are placed around me and I am happy that you have gotten me this far. Just a few more steps and we can be rid of this monster. Thanks again for your support

Love Scott

The last stay

I am fully checked in at the hotel Beaumont ready for my week to begin. So far so good. For the first time PT showed up the first day I am here, normally its wed or thurs when they finally arrive. I am more than excited that this will and is my last round of chemo. Then I have some work to do on my leg/foot and maybe the nightmare will end.

I am ready for the ride to be over. This has been the roughest year of my short life. I stay positive no matter what is dealt to me I have to. No needs to tell me its alright or you'll be ok I know it and I have one more round to put behind me. Life is not easy I have learned that and I will never take for granted one breath I take. Being unable to walk for 6 months makes me feel lucky that I am able to just get around.

Thank you's must be giving and you all know who you are that have been there no matter what I needed through this hard fought battle. I love you all and thank you for getting me though this I know without family and friends I would have been doomed. I hope the next update I will be out of the hospital bragging that I am done with chemo!!!

Love

Roller Coaster of Emotions

So much has happened since the last time I posted. Where do I begin? Where did I leave off is a better question for you. I believe the last time I posted was about a week ago. So to be honest with you I think nothing to report happened the rest of that week but the weekend was full of things.

Friday- I held a poker game at my house. A larger than average crowd came and we would make it a two table night. The highs of the night is that I won money, Jake an old friend from highschool came by, and Kamba my old enterprise boss came. Kamba was one of my true mentors in my life and if I had to pick just one person that has influenced me in business it would be that guy. It was a great night we ended up playing poker till 2am and I was whipped. But I knew I had a long day ahead of me on sat

Sat- I slept in because of course I was up all night playing poker and knew I would need my rest for that night. I was proposing to Kristyn tonight and she had no idea at all. We meaning the rest of the world knew about it but some how the bird never made it to her ear to tell her what was going on. Her family made up a white lie and told her we were going to an Oakland Basketball game for her father to receive an award for past accomplishments. She took it hook line and sinker. So to make this story shorter yes I proposed to her at halftime on the big screen for all to see. She cried and it took me to ask her twice for her to say yes. We all went out to dinner after the game to TGIF and it was a great night

Sunday- Holy crap I don't even remember what I did Sunday?!? Ok well If I don't remember you don't need to know right?

Monday- I had my Surgery to try and clear the artery in my leg. Well this did not go as planned. It didn't work and now I will have to have bypass surgery on my leg to correct the artery that doesn't work. No fun. I can honestly say that finding this out was pretty rough on me. I really thought for the first time that this surgery was going to go smooth and I would be able to be look something went right with all this health crap. No such luck. Tomorrow I will no longer be upset but I can tell you I was like how many times am I going to get kicked in the stomach before I don't smile any more? I mean he has thrown some heavy punches cancer, nerve damage, compression wounds, artery clogged, knee contractor, Not be able to walk, being told the cancer has spread wait no it hasn't wait yes it has, Now I need bypass surgery....but tomorrow I will smile again and be my happy self....not today...I only give myself one day to feel the pain and now I need to get back to knowing this whatever this is will all work out.

Gallery of Dova

Besides the fact Monday and tuesday I had about the worst stomach ache I have ever had and wouldn't go away I have not much to report. Today thankfully it has gone away. However my knee hurt so bad I was up all night and this is why I am posting so early.

Some of you have Facebook and some don't. This is for those that don't have facebook and can't look at the pics that are posted on there. I wanted to post some Pics that I would like to share to all of you that I find important to me. So sit back and enjoy the show.

The pictures I will explain why I picked them. Top left is a Picture of the Night before Thanksgiving. I had my head shaved before I started chemo on that following monday. Kristyn was less than amused at the idea I had a lighting bolt in the back of my head for Thanksgiving day dinner with her folks. I knew Mr. and Mrs G wouldn't care and Hell they laughed about it just like I thought they would.

Top middle: That is a picture of me and mark about a year ago I believe. If you see the chunk hanging from my chin I was about 25 LBS fatter than I am now. Just wanted to show the wieght loss and well how fat I am compared to Mark.

Top Right: This is a recent picture of myself and Kristyn at the greektown casino. Well this picture shows my weight loss, hair loss, and even my eyebrows are thinning. To add to that I really don't have eyelashes any more.

Off to the side: That is a picture of me and my brand new puppy Bug-a-boo. Bug for short. She is up with Kristyn being train by the best vet out there, herself!!!! I guess last night her and the cat Chance had a fight and bug lost. Just wait till she is full grown you mean old cat!

Well thats all I hope for those that haven't seen those pics like them and for those that had enjoyed the explanation of where this chemo ride has taken me.

Love

Scott

Long time coming

Well I know I haven't wrote much in the last week but I been busy with doctors appointments and what not. The last time we talked the best news is the possibility of getting a puppy. Well today I met her and she is amazing. I am excited that I am now a dad of bug-a-boo. She is amazing and I already miss her, Kristyn took her up MSU with her to train her to be a good girl.

So Tuesday I went to the wound clinic to get my heel and foot debreeded. Everything seemed to have gone good came home and Wednesday received a call from them regarding my foot. The manager of the wound clinic told me that they were concerned with my wounds and how they were healing. She then told me I had to see the vascular doctor ASAP to see what he could do for me. Lucky me they worked me in that day and I got to see the doctor. Could you image them telling me that they were very concerned about my wounds but then I couldn't see the doctor for a week? Dr Long (who I hear is one of the best vascular Docs) told me I would have to have surgery to clear out my artery. He also said that it would be a hard thing for him to do since I have had radiation and there will be a ton of damage in my leg. Good news is that if he is able to do this my foot will heal faster. Yeah another surgery next friday I have to look forward to.

On an awesome note myself and Kristyn went to Greektown Casino had dinner at Fish bone's and stayed at the New Greektown hotel. The dinner was amazing, the penny slots did not payout, drinks were great, and the hotel Room was amazing (thanks again Nick). It was a nice night out with Kristyn that was much needed away from the cancer and all my issues I have. It was a night that we could take a break and just be us. We had a great time and I am so happy we got to do it.

My counts came back strong to quite strong. I am happy to say that this round has more doctors but less sick. I am happy that I have one more round and then I should be done with the cancer end of this whole thing. The side projects leg, foot, wounds are to be continued...

This week.

So I figured out my throat problems that I have been having. Each month I would get a sore throat where I could barley swallow. I thought it was from something I ate cutting my throat, like the first month it was a BBQ chip. The next month it was a cashew. Now I know it happened again it had to be something with the chemo. I mean who cuts their throat on a fricken cashew. Not sure why the chemo does this nor was I smart enough to ask the doctor but I finally figured it out.

Another very interesting thing happened this week. I am not sure if I have mentioned it on the blog but I had some compression wounds on my heel and top of my foot. Well on Tuesday I had those wounds debrided. What does this mean. It means I sat there and watched a doctor take a knife and cut into my heel. He removed a good portion of my heel which now I feel like I am two sizes smaller on right foot. Let me tell you to watch my foot get dug into with a knife was a surreal experience. I now have to have it heal up and grow back. This will take a long time since I am on chemo but it will happen and will speed up after my last round.

So Kristyn is adopting a puppy this week. A baby pitbull that was abandoned by their owners and she has decided to take her back to school with her. So this means I will be her father some day. I am super excited and think that she is so super cute. I am going to try and post her picture on here so you can see what she looks like.

Let the weekend Begin....

Love

Positive Vibs

I think just being out of the hospital gives me positive vibs. That place just drains on you and having your own everything is so much better. This time drained on me just a wee bit more than the others, but I am back to my semi normal self.

The weekend was good. Caught up on some much needed TV time with some DVR action. Watched some movies with Kristyn and just relaxed the whole weekend away. The journey is almost done!

Short and to the point

Chemo 3rd round

This round has not gone as smooth as the other two rounds. I felt more sick. Slept almost the whole time. Had no want to do anything but sleep. On Wed/Thurs one of my treatments was pinched closed do to a nursing error. This made me a full 12 hours behind. So to correct this error they doubled the speed of the chemo and pumped it into me which made me very sick. I felt tired already but this was a sick tired and just done feeling.

Today I am much better it being friday and off to my home soon to watch some DVR action. I haven't been this excited to come home as I am today. Sorry I don't have much good or positive to say but this treatment was rough on me and my body. I am hoping to have a great weekend and report about that soon. Love you all.

Scott

She's Back!

I have been told by one source that my blog is hard to read because I write like a 5 year old. I am sorry and will try to remember those rules I learned in the Rochester school system. As for me I am doing great. The wound I was talking about in my last blog, well I overreacted and it should be fine. My doctor said the wound was fine to start chemo so I will be going in tomorrow morning.

Friday I went to the doctors with no real news to bring back. My MRI came back the same as last time so who knows if the spots are cancer or if they are from surgery. I can only think and hope they are from surgery. Friday night went out with a large group of friends. I have said this before and may mention it again, it is fun to be sober around a bunch of drunkards. The night was a blast getting to hang out with a ton of people I don't enough of. For a chunk of night I was seated in front of my good friends Mike and Paul who are talking politics. So Hern acts as my crutch and moves me to another conversation. The night was fun and besides the stomach issues after the bar I had a blast.

I had PT on Saturday and he really thinks I may have to have surgery to get my knee fixed. I hope this is not the case. Better news Kristyn came home from DC with her mom. So she will Be here for the next 3 weeks. We had a great Chinese dinner with her mom and dad watch the last episode of The Office (which I believe is the best one ever).

I am off to the hospital for the week will report from there.

Scott

Good days can't keep coming?

Well welcome back to my bi-weekly drug. I should have named this Dova's Dopers since I got you all taking some of the Dova Drink. Why you read this 5th grade level typing I have no clue but here it goes

So I finished off telling you about Sunday with out mentioning that one of my favorite people in the world stopped by Ms. Rizzo. She dropped me off lunch and dinners for the next week!!! Lasagna with some bread and cake. If you ever want Lasagna you need her to make it!!!! But thanks for the drop in and food man was it great.

I got the common cold this week which was a scare but don't you worry the doc said my blood counts and sleep would kill this thing off so thats what I am counting on. Tuesday I had a CT of my lungs. For those of you that I have not told, Spots were found in my Lungs back in October. It was also found not to be cancer by a Pet scan. But the problem with the spots is they were so tiny that a Pet scan may not have picked them up. The good news about the CT is that the spots have not grown since October making it less likely to be cancer spots. Today I had an MRI also to disprove some spots that were found in my leg that we hope are surgical spots.

So all this good news can't keep coming right? You are correct my friend. I had a home care nurse come by Tuesday to look at the wounds on foot. She covered them up with bandages which I told her that the doctors had told us not to cover them up. Well she said that they need to be covered up and that it would be better if we did. So since I am going to the doctor in the AM I wanted to take them off so that I could know if I needed to mention the wounds to the doctor. And yes you are correct by assuming that the wounds got worse. My heal which had not been open yet on the side is torn off. You can see deep layers of my skin. I am so pissed off that if you look at the time I am still up and my doctor appointment is at 9am. I am hoping that my MRI results bring me back to the good week I was having!

To end on a good note I won at poker so that was nice.

Love

Scott

Crazy Weekend

So its been a while since we last talked. I lie to you and say hey I will do this every other day. Weeeeellll I have found that maybe I should just post at random since I am a very random dude. So Thursday I had to be at work for a work meeting. Yeah I know the first time I had to get dressed and look presentable in a really long time. Meeting was good, but it was much better to see everyone at work. I guess I am missing out on some Mad ping pong games and golden tee. Yeah we have fun at work, but all and all it was nice to see the crew and get out of the house, talk to the boss and set some goals for me.

Friday was good worked all day and had a date night with my mom and watched Fools gold. How I let my mother and girlfriend rope me into watching chick flicks I will never understand. It was nice to spend some time with just me and my mom and watch a movie. She doesn't like sports AT ALL and I think the only channel I know is ESPN so we are in different rooms all the time.

Saturday was lets just say an awesome busy day. Started of with lunch with my six foot nine future father in law to ask him for his only daughters hand in marriage. Lunch was great and who knew I trick him and he said yes. This was the best part of an awesome Saturday. Next I went to Redcoat for some burger action. For those who read this in other areas or countries (just kidding not sure anyone reads this let alone in another country) Redcoat is the best burger in Detroit. I wasn't that hungry but finished the whole thing. It was great to see the crew and now since I had my mother make sundaes for the poker crew my buddy Hern was yelling in the restaurant Hey Ma, Make us some sundies!!! Hern is the loudest person I know. So yes this was hilarious. Lastly we all came back to my house for some Poker. There was alot of money and drinking being done, I can't drink so just the money part for me. The boys are like hey got anything we can take shots of and me being the nice guy I offer up a very nice expensive bottle of tequila which by the end of the night was gone. To sum up how the bottle was emptied Murphy Yelling "Hey dail up some shots!" would explain it and the whole night.

Sunday since I didn't go to bed til 2am I felt like I was hungover and spent the day watching football and a movie with my ma. Lazy day. Thats a long one sorry I wasted a ton of your time blame it on the rain.

Scott

Blah Blah Blah

I got nothing for you...Which I guess is a great thing no news is good news. I been really tired lately and its been harder to get out of bed but other than that every thing is great. Went to the Doc's today and my numbers came back good. I had PT today which was hard and I am not making much progress with my knee. I may get a knee brace to help straighten it up.

Personally I am really excited tomorrow I get to see everyone from work which has been way too long. I am playing some poker thursday and Saturday which I hope I have enough money for both. Its great to get out of the house and see people and feel like a normal person not a sick person. Sorry I had nothing fun to report.

Scott

weekend fun

So for me being locked up for the weekend I would say I had a ton of fun. I wasn't able to leave but many people stopped by to watch the football games and to say hi. Murphy my friend is back for good from England and I was able to see him for the first time in over a year.

As for my health I am doing great, well better and am hoping this week is my big climb for my white blood cells. I did some intense PT over the weekend and I know its going to be a hard road to get my leg to 100%. Nothing else to report which I guess is a good thing. Hope to have a good week and hope I can report some more fun later on.

Scott

Time for the weekend.

I had a doctors appointment and my counts once again came in low. The good thing about this time is that they sent home not to the ER. I am how ever a prisoner in my own home...Its not all that bad better than being at the hospital...Good weekend to be home lots of NFL playoff games and what not. My friend Melissa stopped by today and dropped off a really funny book F my Life. There is a website www.fmylife.com which is similar to the book you should check it out.

Nothing else to report sorry I am hoping to have a pretty fun weekend with some peeps stopping to watch the games and a bonus my buddy Murphy is back from England and he will be stopping by for a bit too!!!!!

Scott

every other day

So I have made the decision that an every other day thing is plenty of Scott in your life for this blog. I don't have enough cool stuff well ever to post so I figured if I posted every day even my mother would stop reading which being an only child its hard for mothers to stop whipping your butt let alone reading boring material on her son.

So basically the chemo has made me really tired...I been working hard at making phone calls and fighting threw the being tired which has paid off I think I have so far had the most sales since I started chemo or maybe I am so tired it seems that way. I have home PT now that I am doing the Chemo. Muhammad is not a very nice man. I think he tried to rub off my skin and I have not been in that much pain in a long time. I guess that is why its called Pain and Torture for a reason. But Unlike Amy (my other PT girl who was 5 foot 103lbs) he is going to make me get my leg straight.

As for health this upcoming weekend is big and Friday I have a doctors apt that the last round ended me up in the ER room with really low counts and got to stay at hotel Beaumont for the weekend. I am hoping this is not the case this weekend. I will of course keep you posted.

Scott

Random crap

For the boredom part I went to the doctor today....It was different this time. I was only getting a shot to raise my white blood count, an in and out procedure, that made me look at what people go through. I got my blood drawn, then she said go in the back and you will get your shot. The last time I stayed up front. I went to the back to see a long row of chairs filled with people, bags, and lines going into these people. I get my Chemo done at the hospital private 5 days in a row and these people are sitting here like they are having a burger and fries. It made my 5 day stay worth it and maybe better than dealing with the burger and fries deal. I received my shot and left. The day wasn't bad meeting at work (via phone) and worked most the day from home...Caught up on some shows and now am watching some football....Nothing too special...

So...I been thinking...Thinking alot...About people that have touched my life now and in the past. Not sure why. I am not depressed or have any bad news just thinking a lot of what got me to this point in my life. I think that the cancer gets me thinking about good days and what great people have been around me my whole life. Starting with my Parents and going to new and old friends. Even companies have molded me such as Enterprise with great knowledge and Summit letting me work on my health and work from home....You know this cancer thing will be the one thing that touches my life that will mold me the most...Before Cancer I was a "good" person with great people around him...Now I realize how much those people make you whole. The fact that I have More people that want to help out anyway possible means the world to me and for that I thank you...Sorry for the random crap but I was thinking about past things and wanted to share this...

A pain in the Knee

Yesterday was a long day with trying to sleep and knee pain. My knee hurts pretty bad from not being used for a couple of weeks while my PT was on hold. So sleep and trying to get comfortable are at a premium.

The chemo has hit me a little harder and faster this time I feel worn down and need to rest. The Nausea is a little worse but the pills seem to be doing it. I would have to say just rest and relaxation have helped for this weekend.

The good news is dear old dad and I have been watching Son's of Anarchy a biker show which we all know that my dad is a huge biker. It's actually a good show. And the show is way better than watching the Lie down's. Hope all is well with you and yours.

New years eve...new years day

Day 4 of chemo was pretty boring again. This round has worn me down and kept me sleeping more than the first round. I am happy to say that I was able to sleep which didn't happen round 1. I got out earlier than expected which is where I am now watching football on my couch.

So I didn't make it to new years ball drop but I assume the same things happened with out me watching it. I am happy to be home and hope I am not boring you with no information on this one. I will start to get sicker and sicker so I will have more to complain about.
