For once, I'm not talking about cleaning. Today is random spot and throbbing hip joint day. I woke up and noticed new brown spots on my fingertips and palms. Plus, a side order of tingling, numb fingertips. When I walk, it's weird hip pain. What am I, 90? All that just in time for Steven …
The pressure of positive thinking
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 …
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. …
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 …
You Caring
Today, I went out like normal people. People who shower and put on make up. That's right, I went to The Pearl District. I had a meeting about work, and I liked it. I'm starting to love work even more now. Every tagline I write makes me feel power over Weird Cancer Guy. How you …
A biscuit, Brian and acupuncture save the day
Leave it to me to experience a full-blown anxiety attack...in my sleep. Thanks a lot, Weird Cancer Guy. When I woke up at 3 am, I was claustrophobic and completely freaked out. The feeling of being a trapped kid with zero power was all-too real. That's just what I need - cancer dredging up the …
