We had our appointment with the oncologist today and it was quite the interesting conversation. He went over some of the symptoms that I was showing and we are going to decrease one of my drugs that I am getting by 15% to hopefully reduce the amount of neuropathy I have. He is concerned that…

The difficulty was self inflicted as i had a lot of ideas running through my head and would occasionally document things and run through scenarios.

I have not written about gratitude for awhile and after chatting with my colleague this weekend i decided to write about the gratitude I have for Persinger. I did my undergraduate degree with him where he was my supervisor for my thesis, where I treated depression in rats. As an undergraduate I was a very…
