Rough night. Didn't sleep well, nausea came on a little stonger than expected, but increasing my meds tonite should help.
Only day 2 of the treatment process and I think I might have underestimated my opponents. That chemo chap packs a punch! Probably helped him a little by not eating for the 7 hours we exchanged insults, but won't make that mistake again. so, the smart money is still on me fight fans.
Had my second radiation treatment today. 2 down, only 32 more to go. Over the long haul, I think she will be the more worthy adversary. Not unbeatable by any stretch of even the wildest imagination though, so bring her on.
Thanks to everyone for the calls, emails, texts and blog messages. I apologize if I am slow to respond. Trust that I do listen/read them all. They are very encouraging and I can't really express how helpful they are, but trust that they are.....everyone of them.
Optimism runs high, this is still a blessing.
