I am finished the first round of treatment now and my fingers are as tingly as ever. It is remarkable how some of the effects compound a bit. Any slight coldness makes my fingers tingle. I bought more gloves to wear around the house for now. It only lasts for about a week so it…
Everyday I have people ask me how I am doing. Normally I tell them that I am doing awesome, because not doing awesome is for suckers. Okay I lied, you can not be doing awesome and having a hard time and that is ok. People need to be able to not feel awesome. But when…
I made it to day 50 of treatment! This is a time for celebration. I have been informed that my blog have been shared with some friends of friends and family. I am perfectly fine with that, but they have not asked me what can they do to help me out. I want to give…
