There is no tumor! April 1, 2022

 


There are tumors, but I am doing the "there is no spoon" if you remember.  Other than my bowels moving like the Los Angeles freeway at rush hour after my chemo treatment, I don't feel all the bad.  My side hurts a bit most of the time, but not as bad as it has.  So I am going with any improvement in internal pain could be good news.  The waiting game is painful.

I am going to go to work today.  The Friday after last treatment was painful.  More so around my bowels than the steroid crash.  That came Saturday.  I will say that at the end of the week on treatment week my brain seems cloudy.  Not horrible, but focus isn't what it normally is.

Tiffany has been putting up with me changing my desk stuff outback.  I got the Linux workstation setup so that I can quick switch and use the dual monitor setup.  I should at least include a picture in that direction since I have been posting them in the other.



Organizing the desk and cleaning up keeps my mind off of things.  The keyboard on the left is for when I am in Horizon Workrooms in Meta.  That also has been giving me some escape.  All in all it is getting there.  I would like to take the big table top and cut it in half, but I just don't think I have the strength for that.  It needs to be 3/4 of it's width and it would give me back some space.  All in all the man cave is coming along.  Would like to get to the floor, but there is a lot of furniture to move for that.

I get worried about Tiffany.  I know that she must have a million things going through her head.  With her dad sick and moving she would want to be there and helping, but she has to also take care of me.  I am trying to show that I can be self sufficient and she can leave, but I think like me, she just likes being together.  I have been pretty good about being strong at the moment.  Keeping myself busy has been a good way to stay off the "I have cancer" bus.

Well, time to go for the day.

I love you all!

She said, she said, "You don't know shit because you've never been there"... March 24, 2024

 It's been a while since I posted (I say that every post now), but I don't seem to have the morning time I used to and I am not certain why (going to work I guess).   I have been plugging along.  Getting back to the shitty routine of work and weekends, with a mix of NJ travel.  It has been since October since I had systematic chemo and I'm on my first of at least two pump breaks.  I just had liver ablations done (6 hour procedure) and they say they got everything they could see, which tells me they have been down this path before (burn out what they can see, but the little ones are still growing).   Either way, this gives me more time, and I hope they got it all.  I have scans on May 1, so I will know somethings then.  It is all just a wait and see game; which I no longer want to play. The family is doing well (I guess).  I feel like I put everyone's life in limbo, because I kind of did.  I am going to try and get my ass in gear this summer and do stuff, but we will see

I won't dance, don't ask me... August 11, 2023

That song in not on in the background of this video, but listening to the swing albums makes me think of it.  It was so funny the time I re-wrote the lyrics to talk about Maeve not napping.  I won't nap, don't ask me...  I haven't been feeling very well.  I try not to let Tiffany know, but I have been so lightheaded and dizzy combined with some nasty insides, I just feel like things are getting worse.  It could be my body is sick of the chemo.  I hope that is what the issue is and not that I have cancer in my gut or brain. I am going to try and get some work outside done today.  I bailed on work, I just can't keep my head in the game and it isn't fair to them that I just sit here staring at a screen.  If I am not working they shouldn't pay me. Well, I am going to get busy on the day. I love you all!

 Feeling a little lightheaded this morning.  Still I road the stationary bike for 20 minutes so I am keeping up my trend of getting up and stretching (yoga) and then exercising.  I have been having some pain in my chest, but I think that is just the stress of knowing that I am about 1 week away from starting chemo. The chemo they are giving me is for colorectal cancer, but is associated with prolonging life but not curing my cancer.  I am going to fight like hell to be the statistical anomaly that beats this thing.  Thank God for my family as I am not certain I would not fight as hard for myself as I will for them. It is supposed to be 67 degrees today so I am looking forward to getting outside.  It wasn't nice enough to get out yesterday and clean up the dog messes, but I will get to that earlier this morning.  It is already 40+ degrees outside so I am looking forward to having some windows open today. Squirt is currently sleeping on my right arm. He is such a baby.  I don't h
