I just got off the phone with my oncologist and everything happened as I had expected. The surgeon was not too keen to do surgery and I do not really blame him as we do not really know too much of where it is. What we do know that there was a tumour and that…
I had trouble sleeping last night. Whether I believe it or not, news about my cancer always has an impact on my physiology. I may not not consciously worry or think about what is happening, but it is clear that my body thinks otherwise. No matter how I perceive what is happening or how I…
This weekend I have been a bit fatigued, and you can tell by my writing. My energy was conserved to write what was happening but it was difficult to articulate gratitude for everyone that has helped out. Simple things like twisting off the top of a jar feels difficult and you do not realize how…

A while back I had written that having a bad day does not necessarily mean that everything is bad. Yesterday we had our appliances delivered and the delivery group was fantastic and super professional. We did not have any issues with them or what they did, but in the evening we realized that we were…
When you can no longer do something easily you start to take things for granted. An example is the act of getting up out of bed. For the last week I have been sleeping with the bed in a fairly upright position so it is not too as difficult for me to move in and…
