April 5th – Walk through fire with you

Posted on 2026-04-052026-04-05 By Q 1 Comment on April 5th – Walk through fire with you

The kids will be sharing a room to themselves and a concern that I have is whether they will get along or not. If we prep them and tell Xavier he needs to take care of his brother he is pretty good. So far on this trip things have progress quite smoothly. The two of…

March 31st – Chemo Week 3. Treatment day

Posted on 2026-03-312026-03-31 By Q No Comments on March 31st – Chemo Week 3. Treatment day

This is the third session of Chemo and things are a bit better today compared to my first two sessions. The port seems to be getting better as there was less discomfort when they inserted the needle into the port. I could feel the needle being inserted, but the sensation of the fluid going into…

Mel wanted to be involved in my post today and gave me a list of things that she wanted to discuss, so this is a joint posting. I would like to point that some content may be written under duress and do not reflect the views of the author. If there is something that you…

March 20th – Post Chemo – Day 1

Posted on 2026-03-202026-03-20 By Q No Comments on March 20th – Post Chemo – Day 1

I started off this morning taking 4mg of my steroid to help things out with fatigue today and I am not sure if it helped or not, but I was able to eat more food today when I do eat. I am careful about the amount that I eat especially when we are out and…

March 19th – Port out

Posted on 2026-03-192026-03-19 By Q No Comments on March 19th – Port out

I had the bottle disconnected today and it feels so much better after it happens. Motion in the right arm is a bit limited as I can feel things a lot when I move around. Every one tells me that it is supposed to be so easy and painless but it is still a bit…

March 16th – White Out

Posted on 2026-03-162026-03-16 By Q No Comments on March 16th – White Out

It is ridiculous how much snow we have received in the last 24 hours. I have never seen so many things within the city shut down before but considering the road conditions it was expected. I had planned to go in for blood work this afternoon but with all of the cancellations I think the…

March 13th – Quiet Comfort

Posted on 2026-03-132026-03-13 By Q No Comments on March 13th – Quiet Comfort

Today I want to focus a bit more on gratitude. I had mentioned that it was a rough week yesterday and it seems that this week has been so long. At the end of each day as I went to bed it felt like it was the end of the week, even though it was…

March 4th – Chemo Day 2

Posted on 2026-03-042026-03-04 By Q No Comments on March 4th – Chemo Day 2

Yesterday I said that I think that things were going fine. At the end of the treatment I had to go pee and realized that my bladder control was starting to slip a bit as I dribbled some pee down my leg as I was getting up. This was a sign of things to come…

March 3rd – Chemo Treatment Day 1

Posted on 2026-03-032026-03-03 By Q 2 Comments on March 3rd – Chemo Treatment Day 1

I got off to a bit of a rough start today. We started the day with me forgetting my phone at home and Mel having to go back home to go get it. Luckily we live close by and she was able to go get it for me. Unfortunately Mel did not know where to…

February 27th – For real this time. I got the date wrong yesterday

Posted on 2026-02-272026-02-27 By Q No Comments on February 27th – For real this time. I got the date wrong yesterday

We have a weekend full of hockey and I am tired today. I had quite a lot of difficulty sleeping last night as I had to avoid the weight of all of the blankets while trying to keep warm. Normally I sleep with a t-shirt on and all my sheets but I think tonight I…
