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…
The amount of support that we have received over the weekend has been surreal. Mel does not think that we deserve all of the love that we have received and she has made comments about how we need to pay this forward to everyone. I reminded her that people have wanted to help us out…
I had mentioned on Friday when I was speaking with the social worker while writing my legacy document that I got emotional at one point. Over the weekend, I have seen numerous posts from people I have interacted with over the years sharing positive things about me and my family, and it gave me a…

I went out this morning to get my blood work done and the roads are still quite atrocious. I arrived at the hospital and there were quite a lot of people there registering for various things. People who were scheduled for yesterday to come in arrived this morning hoping to have their appointment. Or people…
