Rough Times Again

Unfortunately it appears that I have hit another stumbling block with my medication. I believe that this is now the longest that I have been on the medication, and I guess I am really starting to feel the whole range of side effects. I am having trouble eating, and the pain in my stomach after I eat is often intolerable. I did speak to the Dr. at the Mayo Clinic and if the symptoms continue I will have to stop my medication again.
On a brighter note at least I won't have to worry about putting on a lot of weight over the holiday season!  

That's it for now, take care.

What a night!

Last night was the big Comedy Night and Silent Auction.  The day was extremely busy for me as I had to have my monthly blood work and Dr's appointment.  Depending on the results of the bloodwork my medication may be increased to 3/4 dosage. I was very happy by the time 7pm arrived.
It was so nice to see so many familar faces and faces from the past.  The turnout was overwhelming.  I hope that everyone enjoyed the comedians and laughed as much as I did.  My stomach is still sore today.
The silent auction prizes were amazing and I hope that everyone got what they wanted.  A big thanks to all the organizers and volunteers you put on an incredible event.

Take care,

No Change!

I am feeling pretty good lately and have been able to eat some food. I finally got results of the MRI that I had at the MAYO clinic. The tumour is stable, so good news in the fact that it has not grown. Hopefully when I have the next MRI in 6 months the tumour will have decreased.
One huge side effect of the chemo is that I am unable to sleep, unfortunately this is really starting to have an impact on me now, I feel so tired in the day but as soon as I put my head on the pillow I am wide awake.
I am really looking forward to the comedy night on Nov 18th, it will be so great to see everyone. I don't get out of the house too much so I might as well do it for something so exciting.

Take care and we'll chat soon.
