The Original Intent Of This Blog

April 2006 - It seems vain to create a blog about me however, I realize that it is the most efficient way to provide accurate information about the status of my treatment and recovery so here I go .....

May 2009 - The cancer has returned, here I go again ...

December 2009 - I've finished chemo and am cancer free; I continue to receive Herceptin and the trial drug.

Cycle #4: Days 9 - 18

Same old, same old – that’s the pace around here. We survived the heat by keeping all window coverings closed and using the barbeque as the oven. On Tuesday I did reach the point of feeling trapped; physically I felt well, however isolation kept me home and the heat kept me in the house.

The fatigue began again as my cells reached the lowest point so I moved from one short nap a day to a short morning nap and very long afternoon nap. Yesterday I slept away most of the day – the morning and afternoon naps were only separated by lunch and I had no problem going to bed early.

I do feel very rested today and if I continue to feel this way I will break out of isolation early and attend worship services this morning (yes, all the rest yesterday resulted in an early wake up today).

I am amazed at the number of days that have passed since I last posted to the blog. With “same old, same old” somehow the days just go by. I could tell you about having the grand-dogs again for a few days, or that one afternoon I decided to count the number of remaining eyelashes and eyebrows, or how I organized some business records; but there is nothing really interesting about these.

Same old – same old; it’s not a bad thing.

On Wednesday, August 2nd, I will have infusion #5; Taxol and Herceptin. I will fill you in on the next posting.
