Mel thought that I was pretty peppy today all things considered. I think that this treatment cycle actually went fairly well. Most of the issues from previous sessions I was able to deal with. Neuropathy still sucks and I am not sure if it is getting better or not, but it has not been impacting…
After we were rescued by the oil tanker we were brought to Malayasia to a refugee camp. The stories that were told me by my parents were that the conditions were tough and difficult.
