Whoa, it really has been five days since I posted. Round 4 of chemo has seriously wounded me this time. At 3 am one day, I woke up freezing cold and shaking uncontrollably. Then, I got super sick, and Brian had to get up and help me. I felt so bad about that. You don't …
Zombies are more productive
A blog is supposed to be daily, but I just couldn't hang after Round 4. The only way I know how to truly express the level of SUCK is to overuse the letter U. Here goes: Round 4 suuuucked. Every side effect took over from cranked up ear ringing to the complete inability to deal with …
God I’m tired
Not since I got mono in college have I slept this much. After chemo, I slept through dinner all the way until 7 am. My friend Emma drove me to acupuncture yesterday. I woke up on the table and had no idea where I was. So I went back to sleep. Went home and slept …
Bring it on down to Chemoland
Tomorrow is another trip to Chemoland. So much better than Legoland. No lines, free snacks and heated blankets. Legoland can't TOUCH heated blankets. I'm one notch past the halfway mark, but can't stop that horrified feeling. How is Weird Cancer Guy going to get me this time? He's getting to Brian and wearing him down …
Wonder twin powers activate!
Form of... Friends forever. That's my bud, Loy aka Vince Adame. Master drummer, bass player and all-around stud. Sharon, his wife and my other friend forever, took the picture while laughing. We've known each other forever. They're family. See that, Weird Cancer Guy. I'm getting massive support from my friends, so look out. My friends …
“I can’t feel anything.”
Today, we went to see the surgeon to check in on progress and talk about what kind of surgery. She was doing the exam and said she could no longer feel the tumor. WHAA? I took a turn - me either. If some dude was randomly walking down the hall, I would have gotten him …
They say it’s his birthday
My boy Steven turns 11 today! He got a special delivery of a bacon burger and shake at school (Thanks for that super-rad idea, Shonda!) In celebration, Livvie threw him a "surprise party" in her room with stuffed animals and a big sign. He actually grinned big time. …
Dragons would make excellent pies
My friend Rachelle is such a dialed-in baker, she whipped us up a Key lime pie without even KNOWING today was National Pie Day. Clowns are rejoicing from coast to coast. To celebrate, we devoured Rachelle's heavenly pie because she said it's low-fat. My friend Michelle delivered the pie and a pot of beans and …
That’s right. I’m ignoring you, Weird Cancer Guy!
Check out this guy. He doesn't need a hat or a waist. The best part is I look way better than him. I could just stand next to that tank at the Seaside Aquarium all day, lookin' good. We went there on a day trip with my dad and his wife Chris on …

Mistaken Identity…The Sequel
Sometimes my head erupts in a cranial hot flash, making me rip any cutie pie lid I've got on right off. I'm at a bakery, bald head glowing, when a woman with an equally stubbly bald head approaches me:"So, is your hair a lifestyle decision?" she says."No, it's a chemo decision," I say. "What about …
