Yesterday my goal was to not nap and work throughout the day and see what the impact at the end of the day would be. As the day progressed I was more tired, and as of right now with increased fatigue I do not drive in the afternoon as I am not sure if cognitively…
Yesterday was far more tiring than I had anticipated. We went to Costco last night and I struggled to get through the whole shopping process. The kids helped me out and i literally just went d own some aisles and the kids ran and went and got everything. By the time we got to the…
I just finished my first day of treatment. I did not need to wear a gown and they placed a piece of plastic on my stomach as the treatment is superficial. The Radiation Tech mentioned that I might have nausea and to tell them if I do. The oncologist mentioned that it might happen and…
I finally have my radiation appointment booked for next Monday and then I will hear what the rest of my schedule will be. We are leaving to go to Timmins next weekend so hopefully it will not be too late. It was interesting because when they called they initially said that I had to fast…

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…
