Day 64 – 1.04.64 – Covid Vaccination!

Posted on 2021-04-29 By Q 3 Comments on Day 64 – 1.04.64 – Covid Vaccination!

Today I called the doctor to ask about the Covid-19 vaccination. There was a small window that he had wanted me to go for it between the two surgery dates and looking online the only date was May 8th, which if there were any side effects may potentially be an issue. When I called I…

I have had several phone calls over the last couple of days from the hospital and Doctor’s office as they try and schedule all of the appointments within the next two weeks. Everything is now happening quickly as I read articles and things about people being delayed surgeries and taking months to get in for…

Posted on 2021-04-26 By Q No Comments on Day 61 – 1.04.26 – Major Life Changes

It is remarkable the speed that my team schedules things. I received a call from the hospital today and I received my surgery date. It is May 11th, with expected 5 days in the hospital. Since it is a Tuesday I expect that I will be discharged from the hospital by Thursday or Friday. I…

Surgery on the May 5th

Posted on 2021-04-21 By Q No Comments on Surgery on the May 5th

I received a phone call today from the hospital. My surgeon wanted to move my appointment ahead and chat with me today if possible. It surprises me how fast and efficient things run when I hear complaints of how slow the system is or how you can get lost in the cracks. Melanie made this…

Day 56 – 1.04.56 – Today is Tuesday!

Posted on 2021-04-202021-04-20 By Q No Comments on Day 56 – 1.04.56 – Today is Tuesday!

I realized that I prefer having my chemo on Wednesday as it lets me work a normal work schedule. Yesterday was a tough day as it is normally the day when I rest. Today I was fatigued as well, but it was not too bad and was bearable. I frequent some cancer forums because I…

Day 55 – 1.04.55

Posted on 2021-04-192021-04-20 By Q No Comments on Day 55 – 1.04.55

Today is my first really bad day that I have had, and I realized it is ok. I was annoyed at first, but this is my 5th day, the Sunday when I am normally out completely. It bugged me because I tried to work, but physically struggled. I could not keep my eyes open and…

Posted on 2021-04-182021-04-20 By Q No Comments on Day 54 – 1.04.54

This morning there was an F1 race on and I had to bake bread as well. I need to plan things a bit better. Last night I stayed up a bit later hanging out with Melanie because it sparked joy. Since she distracted me, I forgot to take a pill and my sleep was not…

In case you were wondering what the title means. It means Phase, treatment 4, day 53. It is code that Ryan suggested. Today has been an interesting day. I have been baking sourdough bread for 2 days now and I got up at 7am to start the process. Everything was going great until the 6…

Day 52 – 1.04.52

Posted on 2021-04-162021-04-18 By Q 2 Comments on Day 52 – 1.04.52

I am finished the first round of treatment now and my fingers are as tingly as ever. It is remarkable how some of the effects compound a bit. Any slight coldness makes my fingers tingle. I bought more gloves to wear around the house for now. It only lasts for about a week so it…

Last day of treatment before surgery 1.04

Posted on 2021-04-15 By Q No Comments on Last day of treatment before surgery 1.04

Everyday I have people ask me how I am doing. Normally I tell them that I am doing awesome, because not doing awesome is for suckers. Okay I lied, you can not be doing awesome and having a hard time and that is ok. People need to be able to not feel awesome. But when…
