Happy New Year - 2K10?

Well, now the question seems to be what do we call it? Is it 2 thousand 10, or twenty ten...I've decided to call it 2K10 (4 easy keystrokes!).

It's hard to believe that it's been one year now since my chemotherapy treatments have ended. It feels great too! Of course, I'll still need the routine CEA tests and PET/CT scans, but the feeling of having that mediport out and not having the needles and carrying the pump around is a great feeling...and I'm very thankful.

I hope that your new year is off to a good start and best wishes in 2K10!!!

The Holidays

Today we're having some sleet, rain and snow. Christmas was last week and was a nice quiet Christmas this year. They are talking about another major nor'easter for this upcoming weekend. What a way to bring in the new year, 2K10!

Christmas Time is Here

We've had some snow already and it won't be long before Christmas and the new year.

Merry Christmas to all and may God bless everyone and their families!

The Holiday Season

The seasons are changing again. We just had Thanksgiving and in only a few more weeks we'll be into the Christmas week, followed by New Year's and 2010.

Two Thousand Ten...sounds strange, but time does keep ticking and waits for nobody. It's a particuliarly memorable time for me because at this time last year I was entering my final month of chemotherapy.

Aside from some stubborn neuropathy in my feet, I'm doing well and will be going in for my next PET scan in April. Winter 'could' be over by then if we're lucky!

Season's Greetings!!!

November - 2009

With this first onset of somewhat colder weather, I'm noticing some neuropathy (numbness) in some of my toes on my right foot. I guess that it takes quite a while for all of the chemo meds to exit your system.

We went to another memorial service. This time it was my sister's brother-in-law. I sure hope that these occasions end for awhile soon.

Still disputing hospital bills that go back to when I had my surgery last year in June of 2008! Latest letter says the my healthplan had *revised* the amount they were to pay which leaves me with more of a co-pay. I've already paid $250 for this one bill. Oh well, it is what it is?
