December 10th – Treatment Day 8

Posted on 2025-12-102025-12-10 By Q No Comments on December 10th – Treatment Day 8

I think that I am starting to see the cumulative impact from the treatments. This morning I woke up and every thing seemed ok, but last night I told Mel that I would make Olivier’s lunch in the morning. Upon reflection I am not sure if that was the best of ideas. I have started…

December 8th – One More Day

Posted on 2025-12-082025-12-08 By Q No Comments on December 8th – One More Day

Each time you visit the cancer center you get a bracelet to wear. If you kept it from the day before they do not print you a new one. Mel wanted me to get rid of it this weekend and wondered why I kept it on. Whenever I get new clothes, for fun I like…

December 4th – Treatment Day 4

Posted on 2025-12-042025-12-04 By Q No Comments on December 4th – Treatment Day 4

Last night we had people over to finish some more details of the kitchen renovations. Mel and I had slid the mini fridge into the space, but it was tight and not perfectly aligned. As I have the strength of a 5 year old I could not help out much. Our floors are slightly tilted…

November 23rd – Sibling Rivalry

Posted on 2025-11-232025-11-23 By Q No Comments on November 23rd – Sibling Rivalry

I am still not use to how easily fatigued I still get. People who have had a c section or have gone through it with a partner I think understand. Motion of moving up and down repeatedly that activates my core fatigues me over time. Yesterday we spent time unpacking things for the kitchen and…

October 22nd – Do What You Want

Posted on 2025-10-222025-10-22 By Q No Comments on October 22nd – Do What You Want

When I chat with Mel and my friends they are disheartened that something like this can happen to me. Mel articulated it saying that we try and do good, give back and be helpful. I am ok with this happening to me as opposed to someone else that I know. I have a strong network…

October 16th – When you lose small mind, you free your life

Posted on 2025-10-162025-10-16 By Q No Comments on October 16th – When you lose small mind, you free your life

This morning while I was making coffee I realized where my anxiety and fear from last night came from. Last night my viewpoint on this was much different than the way I should be looking at this. I have always known that all of the literature and studies have shown that when cases like mine…

October 7th – Hearts Burst into Fire

Posted on 2025-10-07 By Q No Comments on October 7th – Hearts Burst into Fire

I heard from one of my doctors today and I have an appointment scheduled in person on Friday with him followed up by a scan. I am assuming that I am going to get a tattoo to help mark to help line up radiology. Over the last couple of days I have been feeling quite…

September 30th – Shape of things to come

Posted on 2025-09-302025-09-30 By Q 1 Comment on September 30th – Shape of things to come

Growing up I had to build a lot of resiliency. This started at a young age growing up on the mean streets of South Vietnam. I have told this story before, but as a child I loved eating spicy food. A treat that I use to eat was pineapple with a spicy salt. As a…

September 17th – The Perfect Sandwich

Posted on 2025-09-172025-09-17 By Q No Comments on September 17th – The Perfect Sandwich

Last night Mel and I were talking about support and chatting about informing more people. I am not sure how it started, but we discussed the ring theory of support. Mel has to take on a lot and I told her that she could talk to me. She said no. That I was in the…

September 16b – Past my bedtime

Posted on 2025-09-162025-09-16 By Q No Comments on September 16b – Past my bedtime

I tend to write these messages at the end of the day and then delay the post till the next morning. On Monday night Xavier had an exhibition game out in Capreol. Mel did not want to come so she made me venture there by myself. When Xavier is playing well he is a pleasure…
