Over the last 24 hours Mel and I have flip flopped on what we should do. As a researcher I want to help them out. I see the benefit of it. Mel thinks of our family and time spent together. This morning she thought we should do it while I was more hesitant. My perspective is I am going to do this myself. We do not know whether this treatment will be effective or not so I will do research and figure out what alternative strategies I should use. Mel does not think I should share this information with my doctor as they will then share it with my whole medical team even though one of them is my friend. This is a bit difficult and we will wait and see what the doctor says on Monday.
My goal is to exceed the predictions and try and hit 10 years. It is quite the ambitious goal, but I will break it down 1 year at a time, 1 week at a time and what actions do I need to do day by day. I think that I will start meditating again and focus energy on impairing the cancer cells. Your perception and mental framework plays a role in ability to fight back. At some point my body will break down, but hopefully I can limit it and stop the progression enough for 10 years.
Our first game today was not until 9:15pm and most of the kids on the team went to the Playdium for a team get together. We decided to go to Summit Dairy to purchase milk instead. We spent the whole day traveling for food or eating food. Our first stop was to have lunch, but there was a 45 minute wait so we spent our time purchasing butter tarts at the butter tart festival, followed by dim sum lunch and then to Summit to buy chocolate milk and some treats. We then drove home and back out to Congee Queen for dinner shortly after. Our whole family enjoys food so it is difficult because I need to make sure that I carefully figure out what 5 or 6 bites I want to eat. I miss the days when I could get more of each of the food, but I have been smart and my adjustments have been pretty sound. Xavier wanted to spend his time with us instead of running around and is prepping for the game. If we win then we make the playoffs, lose and we are out. Next week decisions need to be made and this weekend is a nice distraction.
