Hey folks – as you can see, I’ve opted to move my email notifications back to Tuesdays, as most of my appointments are now on Fridays. Hope this doesn’t cause too much confusion. You can also get an occasional ‘side’ update on the FB group (if you’ve been invited). Since Christmas, there’s been a bit …
Merry Christmas everybody! Well, almost Christmas anyway. I thought I’d throw out a quick update before this thing goes up out in the newsletter tomorrow. Tuesday I got my cataract surgery done on the right guy, and everything went well. It was a little irritating at first but the next day the irritation quickly subsided. …
Hi folks, I’ve had a few folks asking for an update, so here it is. 🙂 Since my discharge from the hospital, I’ve been growing ever so slightly stronger every day. Hemoglobin doesn’t seem to be recovering though, in fact I’ve come down a few notches. Might have to eat more spinach. I’ve been doing …
Well, I promised Selena an update for you, so here goes. On last report, I think I was needing some additional O2 to relieve the “fluid overload” (as described by the cardio team). First, fluid was prescribed to relieve the calcium excess – and then the chemo also included massive amounts of fluid – (I …
I’m convinced that I may have the shortest period of remission in recorded history, LOL! As I’d said yesterday, I had to come back in today for labs. Well, turns out the cancer is spiking – so it’s back to the ole drawing board. I’ve got another mini-vacay at Froedtert while they give me fluids …
Had my regularly scheduled follow up with Dr Dhakal, we’re now 2 months out from treatment. My calcium is way high at 14, it should be 10 max. So I get to hang out awhile and get some fluids, a shot and some IV meds to knock it back down. Since today was ‘surprise’ day, …
A little happiness. I got to see the ophthalmologist, she ran the same tests I’ve had run thrice before, and she can fix one eye by the end of the year – yay! I was hoping to get both because OBVIOUSLY I’ve met my deductible AND max out-of-pocket for insurance this year. Everyone I’ve heard …
Hey, where’ve you been? Hi folks – I’ve been meaning to update the blog – but yet again, I’ve dropped the ball. I sorta have an excuse this time though. The last update was in August, right after my last treatment for the second clinical trial. Not much has happened since then, but here are …
Video Transcription Hello, everybody, this is the latest update today is the 30th of August. And my last treatment was Friday. So I think that was the 27th of August. And I say that’s my last treatment. It’s not really my last treatment, but it’s the last scheduled treatment for this clinical trial, which is …
I’ve gotten so far behind on updates – I’m trying voice notes and transcription. Please pardon the gaffs! Okay, are we recording sounds like we are. Okay, good. So, it’s been a while since my last update, and I don’t know if I should blame them on laziness or hesitancy to talk about myself. Not …
