"Fighting Cancer is a lifelong deal"

The title above is a quote from another cancer fighter whose blog I've been following. You can see a link on the right side (Rotorhead's Cancer Blog).

Charles is a military chopper pilot and keeps an interesting blog.

It's been 2 1/2 weeks since my chemo ended. I'm still having a lot of neuropathy and tingling/numbness in my fingers and feet along with gasto-related issues. I have my first follow-up visit on January 21st.

We've been getting snowfall just about every weekend since the new year started. I'm starting to envy the people who are in warmer climates.

Anyway, I'll update after my follow-up visit and we'll see what the next steps of the journey will be.

Off - Week

I'm watching the *time* a lot this week!

This is my final "off-week" and I have a LOT to get done before starting my final treatment week next Monday!

The tingling in my fingers (neuropathy) is pretty bad and even trying to button a shirt is harder than usual, but I was warned of this and will manage to get past it somehow. The nerve damage is giving me some gastro tract *issues* as well.


I participated in our worldwide virtual band's 3rd annual Christmas song collaboration. We dedicate this year's song to the troops overseas and others who haven't been home for a long, long time. "Please Come Home For Christmas"

One step at a time, that's the only way and it has worked so far. Happy Holidays!
