Day 155 – 3.01.155 – To all my friends

Posted on 2021-07-30 By Q No Comments on Day 155 – 3.01.155 – To all my friends

I have not been feeling well for the last couple of weeks. I have received emails and texts asking if everything is ok since I have not written much for 13 days. I only have 6 more radiation treatments left. Last week it was my fake birthday, and my kids made sure to mention that…

Day 142 – 3.01.142 – Second Week Complete

Posted on 2021-07-17 By Q No Comments on Day 142 – 3.01.142 – Second Week Complete

Hi I have completed two weeks of radiation/oral chemo treatment now and have realized that this is much more difficult than I had anticipated. The combination of my treatments is tough. I need to take my oral medication on a full stomach at approximately 8am and 8pm each day. This requires me to eat in…

Day 137 – 3.01.137

Posted on 2021-07-12 By Q No Comments on Day 137 – 3.01.137

I had my radiation treatment and an appointment with the doctor today. The radiation appointment was at 10:30 while the doctor’s appointment was at 1. With the 3 hr spread I figured that I had enough time to go home and eat as I need to eat as much as I can. The appointment in…

Posted on 2021-07-07 By Q No Comments on Day 133 – 3.01.133 – Update Again!

Hello everyone This week I started my new round of treatment. It consists of radiation treatment every weekday for 25 days over 5 weeks and oral chemo treatment daily for the duration of the 5 weeks.

Day 127 – 3.01.127 – Slacking

Posted on 2021-07-01 By Q No Comments on Day 127 – 3.01.127 – Slacking

I have been slacking a bit with updating the blog lately. I have been doing a lot of different reading. During some of the development sessions people have been recommending books or interpreting parts of books and my preference is to read the books so I can comment on it. A certain series came out…

Day 122 – 3.01.122 – Gratitude

Posted on 2021-06-26 By Q No Comments on Day 122 – 3.01.122 – Gratitude

We were suppose to go camping this weekend, but with the weather forecast and some of the minor issues with the trailer we opted not to go and we spent the time together as a family relaxing. Today we went to Sturgeon falls for some poutine, pick up some treats and strawberries. When I woke…

On Friday I had my appointments with both of my oncologists, one for chemo and one for radiation. My first meeting was with the chemo doctor and he had indicated that we are going to change up the treatment a bit for this next round. I had informed him that I had the PICC line…

Day 111 – 3.01.111 – Update

Posted on 2021-06-15 By Q No Comments on Day 111 – 3.01.111 – Update

I met with my oncologist this morning and he asked me if the surgeon had discussed anything with me in detail.  Some of the news that was shared was he was quite concerned with the fact that there were 14/19 lymph nodes that showed cancer and little mention of shrinkage of cancer. The reason being…

Posted on 2021-06-04 By Q 2 Comments on Day 100 – 2.02.100 – 100 days into this journey

Something that I love watching is F1. The team that I cheer for is McLaren and they have sucked for the last couple of years, but this year they are starting to turn it around and do well. In the driver’s championship they are third and in the constructor’s championship they are third. They do…

Day 94 – 2.02.94

Posted on 2021-05-29 By Q 1 Comment on Day 94 – 2.02.94

I was randomly watching videos today on YouTube and browsing reddit. One of the posts on reddit asked a question on why be nice to others when it is not reciprocated. It is an interesting question and something that made me think. If you are being nice for recognition, are you doing it for the…
