No news is good news

Just the same old feelings for the past few days. Moderate nausea and everything tastes like crap. Karen and I added up the treatments and it looks as if my last treatment will be on July 9. We are trying to figure out how to celebrate assuming everything is eradicated. We'll probably do a big bash at our home followed by a trip to the islands. 8 more treatments hopefully without radiation at the end. Hoping to get a PET scan next week before my next round.

    And just in time for your 40th birthday, too.

    I have yet to talk with Kaye, but I think I can speak for both of us. We will take the trip to the islands and might even double dip by attending the big bash.

    Thanks for the invite.

    Hash family.

    Hang in there, Iron Man. I see your lower lip sticking out and hear your shoes scuffing the sidewalk. You know we'd all join together and fix this for you in a heartbeat if we could, but you've got to do the staying strong part on your own. I think I feel worse about the crappy food than the crappy chemo. A co-worker tells me you should try chocolate Ensure and Aquafina water - they may taste less metallic. I think doctors should be able to prescribe laughs and a change of scenery. Wishing you both. Lots of love, L.

    Yup, that is the character of chemo. I've have said more than once, it is not something I would order up for lunch, but the alternative is even less appealing. Eventually, after you have been off of it for awhile, things start to taste better and your energy, etc. start to come back. But, the bottom line is that you are being poisoned right now and, no surprise, your body doesn't like it, but the cancer likes it even less.

    You'll definitely enjoy your trip to the islands in a way you have not appreciated in the past.

    Cheers,

    John
