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…

I did not realize how tired these last couple of days have been for me. This morning I slept in until 9am, something that I rarely do and only really do when I am not feeling well. I do not feel sick at all, just tired. It was to the extent that I actually took…
